Thor #145 [1967]

Odin on a rampage, gotta like that. See those Asgardians quivering in the face of his just and merciful wrath.

Thor #145 [1967]

Odin cracks me up every time.

In “Abandoned on Earth”, Thor feels the anger of Odin in this issue as he’s stripped of his powers, other than his strength, and left on Earth following a major battle. He decides to try this out and get a job, and ends up applying as the strongman at a circus, not knowing that it’s a front for the Circus of Crime, who are planning a major theft that needs a strongman. Thor impresses them but then gets hypnotized by the ring-master to prepare for their heist.

The “Tales of Asgard” back-up concludes in this issue with “The End”, with the final battle against Mogul, the tyrant who has enslaved various lands, including that of Hogun the Grim. Ends kind of abruptly, but has a lot of action leading up to there, capturing the grandeur of the modern myths they were weaving.

Colletta inks the cover, 16-page lead and 5-page backup.
