Thor's 15th appearance of 1980 (his 3rd in 3 weeks)

The first of the 7 multi-panel Thor-graced pages Sienkiewicz is tasked with producing is a prime example of his mastery of his craft. 

The cover was embellished by the much-missed Joe Sinnott and the interior pages were finished by Pablos Marcos.
