Stories

  • Where Mortals Fear To Tread! · 16 pages

    Thor and Absorbing Man resume their battle from last issue. Thor gains the upper hand. Loki, fearful of Creel’s defeat, transports him to Asgard. Meanwhile, Thor rescues Jane Foster from a locked room filling with smoke. He transforms into Doctor Blake, but the transformation is witnessed by reporter Harris Hobbs who engineered the smoke-filled room scenario for the purpose of discovering Thor’s secret. Hobbs says he will destroy his evidence of Thor’s dual-identity if Thor will take him to Asgard. Meanwhile, in Asgard, Creel confronts Odin who blasts him with cosmic energy, which he absorbs!

  • The Grim Specter of Mutiny! · 5 pages

    Fearful of their impending doom and spurred on by Loki, the Asgardian sailors turn on each other. With nobody manning the oars, the ship is drawn towards the deadly Pillars of Utgard. They hear a deafening sound. Looking up, they see Balder lashed to the ship’s figurehead and blowing a mighty horn.
