Thor le fils d'Odin #16
In "À la recherche d'Odin," Thor returns to Asgard to find his people trapped in a mysterious stupor, leaving the realm vulnerable. With the help of the Vizier and the wisdom of Mimir, Thor learns of an ancient prophecy tied to the Egyptian pantheon and sets off for a colossal pyramid in San Diego. There, he confronts Horus in a clash that ends with Odin’s sudden, unexpected arrival—though the All-Father now believes himself to be Atum-Re. Written by Roy Thomas and Bill Mantlo, with art by Sal Buscema and inks by Klaus Janson, and a striking cover by Gil Kane and Klaus Janson, this 1982 issue blends Norse myth with Egyptian legend in a quest that redefines destiny.

Returning to Asgard, Thor discovers his people suffering an odd lethargy, which leaves the Realm Eternal open to attack. Thor rouses his friends from their torpor and the Vizier summons Mimir, guardian of the Well of Wisdom, to learn Odin's whereabouts. Mimir relates a tale of the Egyptian Gods, imprisoned by Seth, God of Death, until the time Atum-Re, father of the Gods, returns to Earth. Learning of a giant pyramid in San Diego, Thor travels there and battles Horus until the fight is ended by the dramatic appearance of Odin, who however has been enchanted into believing that he is Atum-Re.
