What If? #47

Oct 1984 · Marvel · 1.00 USD; 0.50 GBP; 1.25 CAD
“What If Loki Found Thor's Hammer First?!”

In *What If? #47*, Peter B. Gillis and Kelley Jones explore a chilling twist on Thor’s origin: what if Loki had claimed Mjolnir before Don Blake? With Blake slain by the Stone Men and the hammer in Loki’s hands, the god of mischief sets off a devastating clash between Odin and Hela, threatening Thor’s life and all his allies. Bill Sienkiewicz’s striking cover captures the eerie power of this alternate path, while the interior art by Jones and inks by de la Rosa bring the dark, mythic stakes to life.
