“Journey into Mystery”

In "Journey into Mystery," Thor—clad in the powerful Destroyer armor—dares to storm the gates of Hel in a desperate bid to reclaim his stolen body and break the curse binding him. With Asgard under siege by the Storm Giants and Balder struggling to hold the line, Thor's return becomes the realm's last hope. Writer Walt Simonson and artist Sal Buscema deliver a mythic clash of gods and giants, culminating in a rare moment of quiet brotherhood between Thor and Loki. The cover, also by Simonson, captures the storm's fury with bold, dynamic lines.
