In "The Return of Zarrko, the Tomorrow Man!", Thor faces a twisted challenge when Loki manipulates Odin into stripping him of his power—punishing him for his bond with Jane Foster.

Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by Jack Kirby, with inks by G. Bell and letters by S. Rosen, this 1964 classic features a cover by Kirby and George Roussos that captures the clash of past and future.
