Thor #485

A massively powerful figure with rocky, orange-hued fists looms over a battered Thor sprawled across a debris-strewn battlefield — the cover tagline "Things Ain't What They Used To Be!" makes it clear something has gone seriously wrong for the God of Thunder. M. C. Wyman and Mike DeCarlo deliver a striking composition that puts Thor's vulnerability front and center, his winged helmet and golden hair unmistakable even as he struggles on the ground beneath an overwhelming threat. Roy Thomas helms this April 1995 chapter, and the tension radiating off this cover alone makes it easy to see why The Mighty Thor kept readers coming back.
