“If This Be Death..!”

In "If This Be Death..!", Thor faces his most terrifying trial yet as he battles Pluto and the dark legions of Hades. With the god of the underworld closing in, Thor stands defiant—only to be struck down in a moment of mortal peril. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by John Buscema’s dynamic art, with inks by Vinnie Colletta and letters by Sam Rosen, this 1972 classic delivers a gripping clash of myth and might. The cover, penciled by Buscema and inked by Frank Giacoia, captures the epic tension in a single, unforgettable image.
