The Mighty Thor #2
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.
When Dr. Blake volunteers to go undercover to uncover a string of American scientists defecting to the Soviet bloc, he becomes the latest target—abducted and imprisoned with the others. Trapped behind enemy lines and facing a web of espionage, he must find a way to break free before his identity is exposed. With Jane Foster watching from afar and Colonel Harrison and John Blandings racing to uncover the truth, the fate of the missing scientists hangs in the balance.
When Loki uncovers Thor’s secret identity as Dr. Donald Blake, he seizes the chance to strike at the god of thunder where it hurts—by stripping him of his hammer and leaving him powerless on Earth. Trapped in human form, Blake must outwit Loki’s schemes against humanity, using cunning and courage to reclaim his divine power. With Jane Foster caught in the crossfire and the might of Asgard looming, the battle for justice comes down to one man’s resolve—and the hammer’s return.
In "Behind Locked Doors!" from The Mighty Thor #2 (1978), a Soviet spy infiltrates an American factory, stirring unrest with sabotage and fear—only to find himself outmaneuvered by the very machines he sought to exploit. When the factory’s industrial equipment, all proudly "Made in America," begins to act with surprising autonomy, the spy discovers that even steel and gears have their limits... and their own sense of justice.
