Walt Simonson's 49th THOR cover
Rarely does an artist write as well as he draws but Simonson proves with this 22 page story that he is the worthy exception.

Solid Sal Buscema is not only tasked with providing Absorbing Man action sequences. He also composes sequences with Loki, Sif, the Enchantress, Hogun, Heimdall and Balder.

Neither Don Blake nor Jane Foster appears.

Like many THOR issues it has a cliffhanger ending.
