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.
