Thor #254

This December 1976 Marvel issue puts the Thunder God at the center of a dramatic divine confrontation — the cover by Rich Buckler and Joe Sinnott shows a straining Thor caught in Odin's colossal golden grasp, while Don Blake crouches below clutching a wooden walking stick, as the All-Father declares "Thou art Thunder God no more!" The cover's bold composition pits son against father in a truly charged moment, with Odin's massive armored form dominating the right side of the image in a way that makes Thor look genuinely vulnerable. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's story, "The Answer at Last!," promises to shed light on the connection between the Asgardian warrior and his mortal alter ego.
