“The Day the Thunder Failed!”

In "The Day the Thunder Failed!", Thor shares a legendary tale from his youth with a group of children, recalling a time when he and his brother Loki faced the cunning Utgard, Master of Utgarddhall. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema, Tom Palmer, and George Roussos, this issue blends mythic adventure with quiet wisdom, all framed by a striking cover by Buscema and Severin.
