Like most 1994 THOR issues, the High Evolutionary makes an appearance. His evil creation, the villain formerly known as Man-Beast also appears. Writer Roy Thomas has Thor battle until his clothes are in tatters, then has Mjolner make him a new costume!

Thor's 4th appearance of 1970.

Jack Kirby/John Verpoorten cover

Although Thor appears on 10 of the 20 Kirby/Colletta pages, he does not appear on the only splash page. Loki gets that honor!

The Midgard Serpent appears on the cover of THOR for the second time. The first was THOR #200. Both were drawn by John Buscema.

Roy Thomas constructs an enjoyable story that cleverly utilizes continuity. 

And even if it wasn't a worthy tale the impressive art of John Buscema and Tom Palmer would still make it worthy of your time.
