Thor #202

The cover of The Mighty Thor #202 (August 1972) makes the threat immediately clear: a colossal, wild-haired Ego-Prime looms over a crumbling city, his massive hands grasping at both Thor — hammer blazing — and a terrified civilian caught in his grip. The scene of urban devastation below, with figures scattered across broken streets, gives the confrontation a genuine sense of scale and urgency. With cover work from John Buscema, John Romita, and Marie Severin (inked by Vince Colletta, Romita, and Severin), this is a striking 1972 Marvel package that earns its bold tagline: Ego-Prime vs. The Earth!
