The Bill Sienkiewicz cover is enough to make this a worthy issue! King Thor appears on 4 of the 22 Scot Eaton/Drew Garaci drawn pages then naps for the rest of the issue. Thor's son Magni is the star of this 2170 Asgard tale. Written by Dan Jurgens

ON THE SPINNER RACKS Mar/Apr 1967

This Jack Kirby/Vince Colletta cover delivers more than it promises.

Not only are there many action-packed pages with the Growing Man (1st appearance) in this 16 page Lee/Kirby/Colletta collaboration

there is also a big name mystery villain. This is another of those rare self-contained, perfect jumping-on point stories.

BUT WAIT -THERE'S MORE!

There is also a 5 page Tales of Asgard back-up by Lee/Kirby/Colletta depicting Thor and the Warriors Three battling the Devil Djinni.

FUN FACT:

When the lead story was reprinted seven and a half years later in MARVEL SPECTACULAR ##11 this page was judged unworthy!

ON THE SPINNER RACKS Mar/Apr 1968

IMMORTAL THOR #7 $4.99

(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.
