Thor's 6th appearance of 1978. (353rd of all time)

Roy Thomas, John Buscema and Tom Palmer deliver a self-contained story literally based on Norse Mythology (from the nearly 900 year old Eddas) for the ideal comic to introduce a newcomer to THOR. The clever Thomas uses a framing device to have Thor himself tell the tale to a boy that is being bullied.

Loki's 1st appearance of 1978. His 83rd of all time.

Plus there is also a text page by the knowledgeable Thomas explaining why he holds the THOR series in such high regard.

   Mephisto has taken up some major real estate in Las Vegas, but he's not going to stop there. He's got the rest of Earth on his "TO GET" list and only Doctor Strange can stop him.   The only downside? Strange went into Mephisto's Hotel Inferno to confront him and has not been seen since.   Add the fact that the devilish villain has already corrupted several Avengers (including Lady Thor), and Wong' rag-tag group of mystical heroes look like they're in serious trouble.
