Sorry Don Blake fans. 
This is the Eric Masterson Era of Thor.

9 of the 22 Ron Frenz/Joe Sinnott pages deliver what the dynamic 
Frenz/Sinnott cover promises.



Mythmaster Walt Simonson provides the cover. He also writes and draws the 22 page story that Thor appears on 9 pages of. This is the first chapter of a continued story so, of course, it has a cliffhanger ending.
