In "On the Trail of the Tomorrow Man!", Thor faces a chilling threat not from a god or monster, but from a Soviet spy manipulating American factory workers through sabotage and fear. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko, this 1978 issue delivers a uniquely paranoid twist as the machines—“Made in America”—awaken with a will of their own to protect their home. The cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers captures the moment’s tension, a striking visual that perfectly frames the story’s blend of Cold War unease and mechanical rebellion.
