The Bill Sienkiewicz cover would be enough to make this a worthy issue even if the 22 interior pages were blank!

If you had been reading THOR for more than 3 years you would have recognized the bald man that dominates this cover (thanks to the dynamic Jack Kirby layout) as Pluto. It was Pluto's 5th THOR appearance but only the second time he appeared on the cover.

Even though Thor is not on the Steranko cover, he appears (along with a lot of other top tier guest stars) in this Jim Steranko/Tom Palmer drawn comic.

(W) Al Ewing (A) Martin Coccolo (CA) Alex Ross
THE TRIALS OF UTGARD!
Young Thor faced the tricks of the Utgard-Loki, with all that lived at stake - in a tale twice-told and now told again. Yet the teller was the Skald of Realms, in their aspect as Thor's enemy. And thus, the tale could twist upon itself - and if Thor faltered, it could make a new end. This is the story of the IMMORTAL THOR...and the story may yet destroy us all.

If you had been a Marvel Zombie for more than 3 years you probably would have figured out who the mystery villain was on this Ron Frenz/Joe Sinnott cover.

Tom DeFalco provides the reason why this villain makes their first THOR appearance in the 17 page story drawn by Frenz/Sinnott.
Plus there was also the first chapter of a well-drawn Tales of Asgard trilogy.
