“Escape into Oblivion!”

In "Escape into Oblivion!", Thor faces a storm of chaos as the Enchantress and the Executioner wreak havoc in Asgard, while the Grey Gargoyle and a band of pirates test the god of thunder’s strength and resolve. Written by Len Wein and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema and Tony DeZuniga, with colors by Glynis Wein and letters by Joe Rosen, this 1977 classic captures the mythic clash of magic and mayhem. The cover, penciled by Buscema and Hannigan and inked by Giacoia, perfectly frames the epic stakes.
