“There Were Giants in Those Days (or, a Discourse between Heroes and Villains)”

In "There Were Giants in Those Days (or, a Discourse between Heroes and Villains)," Thor stands alone as Asgard lies dormant, facing a cunning threat from the Frost Giants who summon the Midgard Serpent to do their bidding. But when the dragon arrives, it's not the serpent they expect—Fin Fang Foom's deception is quickly exposed, forcing Thor to confront the true, ancient menace: Jormungand. Written by Walter Simonson and illustrated with dynamic precision by Sal Buscema, with inks and colors by Buscema and Evelyn Stein, and lettered by John Workman, the cover by Simonson captures the epic clash in bold, mythic strokes.
