Thor #418

Ron Frenz and Joe Sinnott deliver a genuinely arresting cover for this June 1990 issue: the Wrecker looms triumphant in center frame, his enchanted crowbar raised high, one boot planted on a fallen, unconscious Thor as Mjolnir lies just out of reach. Surrounding them is a rattled collection of heroes — including a bare-chested Hercules, a masked figure in red, and others recoiling in alarm against a smoke-choked, crimson sky — making the threat feel overwhelming and immediate. The cover's blunt tagline, "Fear Kills!", sets the stakes perfectly, promising a story from writer-artist Ron Frenz and Tom DeFalco where even the Thunder God isn't safe.
