Walt Simonson's 18th Thor cover surely intrigued you enough to check out the splash page
Any Simonson THOR issue is a better-than-average THOR issue but this one is better than most. It is both a self-contained tale highlighting Thor's connection with the common man and part of a multi-part epic, in the tradition set by Lee/Kirby.
Plus it had the fourth appearances of  Toothgnasher and Toothgrinder - the then underused inspirations for Santa's reindeer.
