The Dark and the Light (The Mighty Thor #348) (1984)

 Random Marvels Project


Dipping my net into the ocean of Marvel and seeing what comes up.



Pencils and Story: Walter Simonson

Inks: Bob Wiacek 

Lettering: John Workman Jr.



Thor’s pal Roger disrupts Malekith’s plan to open the Casket of Ancient Winters with a well-placed bullet. 



Thor avoids a fiery grave.



And Balder the Brave finds the will to live by the grace of the Norns.



Meanwhile, the hosts of Asgard prepare for battle with the danger that Odin senses.



Thor manages to save the lady to whom he is suspiciously strongly devoted…



…but he doesn’t succeed in safeguarding the Casket…



…which leads to an unfortunate outcome but a terrific cliffhanger.



Someone commented on one of my Facebook posts that no one except Kirby did Thor better than Simonson, and that sounds just about right.
