Spider-Man Comics Weekly #1
"The Man Called Electro!" kicks off in *Spider-Man Comics Weekly #1* (1973), a 0.05 GBP UK import that marks a rare, standalone tale from Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, illustrated with dynamic flair by Jack Kirby and inked by Joe Sinnott. When a disabled doctor seeking peace in Norway stumbles upon an alien threat, he discovers an ancient cane that awakens a power beyond legend—transforming him into the mighty Thor, who must rise to defend Earth. The cover, a striking collaboration by Steve Ditko and John Romita, captures the moment of transformation with bold, iconic lines.
