Fantastic! #5
In "The Vengeance of Loki," the mischievous god of mischief turns his cunning against Thor, exploiting a shocking revelation to strip the thunder god of his hammer and leave him powerless as a mortal. With Jack Kirby’s dynamic art and Stan Lee and Larry Lieber’s sharp scripting, this 1967 classic sees Thor’s human guise, Dr. Blake, outwit Loki in a battle of wits and wills—only to reclaim his divine might and send the trickster back to Asgard. The cover by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko captures the clash in bold, mythic strokes.
