“Death, Thou Shalt Die!”

Thor hurls Mjolnir with a battle cry of "For Odin! For Asgard!!" as a full complement of Asgardian warriors clashes around him in this rousing March 1977 Marvel Comics Group issue. Jack Kirby's pencils and Joe Sinnott's inks pack the cover with urgent energy — winged-helmeted fighters, a fallen foe, and swirling clouds of dark smoke filling every corner of the composition. With Len Wein writing and John Buscema and Tony DeZuniga on interior art, The Mighty Thor #257 promises a story worthy of its thunderous cover.
