Ron Frenz channels his inner Kirby.

My idea of a page that has it all. An Asgard establishing shot, an angry Odin, Thor bonding with a young fan and a gorgeous goddess. What more could you ask for!?
There is also a Tales of Asgard back-up tale of the boyhood of Thor (and Loki).

And a new use is found for Thor's hammer.
