Stories

  • There Were Giants in Those Days (or, a Discourse between Heroes and Villains) · 22 pages

    With Asgard still under a mystical sleep, the Frost Giants seek to awaken the Midgard Serpent to fight Thor. The dragon who shows up, however, is Fin Fang Foom but after a brief battle with our hero, its duplicity is revealed and Thor faces down Jormungand.

Publisher’s description

A disguised Thor faces off with Fin Fang Foom in Manhattan! But things are not as they seem with either combatant, as Fin Fang Foom reveals himself to be the World Serpent, Jormungand! Too bad for him that the Serpent's deadliest fear just so happens to be--the might God of Thunder himself!
