Thor #444

Thor finds himself dwarfed by a massive, shadowy figure looming from the left — a mystery opponent whose sheer scale makes Mjolnir feel almost small — while the cover copy cheekily admits that the "most shocking super-foe of all" is decidedly not Dr. Doom. Ron Frenz and Al Milgrom deliver a cover that pairs genuine tension with a wink, as the Asgardian stands his ground amid a tangle of industrial pipes, hammer raised and ready. With a story titled "How The Groonk Stole Christmas!", this February 1992 issue promises the kind of action-meets-humor that makes The Mighty Thor such a fun corner of the Marvel Universe.
