Holy Mjolnir, True Believer! 'Tis time for another monolithic masterpiece of Mighty Thor mania! And how!We lieth not, we're preparing an assaulting assemblage of Asgardian artifacts as only Stan and Jack could articulate them. Featuring the one and only Thunder God in the tales that put the cosmic in comics. It all kicks off with a slobbernocker of knock-down, drag-out proportions with the Absorbing Man in the very halls of Asgard! While in the outskirts of outer Mongolia (yes, that far out) a Demon powered by a mystic Norn stone dwells. Thor may be able to handle this magical miscreant, but how will he fare in a toe-to-toe with the Prince of Power, Hercules-especially when the All-Father Odin has cut the Thunder God's power in half? All we'll say is it's safer than betting on the ponies! It all leads to a battle of epic proportions that takes the Thunder God to the depths of the Underworld itself to fight the legions of Pluto! And lest we forget the titanic Tales of Asgard! Nay, we dare not! Prepare yourself to learn the secrets of Ragnarok and more.Collects JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #121-125 and THOR (Vol. 1) #126-130.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Thor achieves the heights,
By Reader from the North (Midwest, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marvel Masterworks: The Mighty Thor Volume 4 (Hardcover)
Now Lee and Kirby start to hit their proper stride with these issues. They've started to find the right approach to Thor. (The Tales of Asgard episodes were maybe testing the waters?) The grandeur with the Hercules/Pluto issues shows what the Thor comic is capable of becoming. Still later will come the Living Planet and Him, but that will have to wait for another volume.
Also, an important addition to the team is inker Vince Coletta. He gives the proper look to Kirby's pencils for Thor--sort of a Hal Foster "Prince Valient" feel. Compare these issues to earlier ones and you'll see what I mean.

the best marvel comics,
By Wonder? "senseawonder" (Bethlehem PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marvel Masterworks: The Mighty Thor Volume 4 (Hardcover)
Wow - this particular masterwork really reprints some classic classic stuff. For me, this brings back a ton of memories. Sadly, I wasn't old enough to watch the great issues unfolded first hand but I remember one of my first encounters with Marvel Comics being a treasury edition that reprinted the whole of the Thor vs. Hercules battle that is a big part of this hardcover. And then as I scourged the world looking in flea markets, old book stores, yard sales and other places for the elusive early Marvel issues I ran across reprints of the battle with the Absorbing Man that start off this masterwork. To have all this together in one hardcover on high quality paper is truly wonderful. This is the stuff that hooked me on what was to become a lifetime passion. As Stan might say 'Nuff Said! Read it and enjoy it for yourself. I guess for me because this came just about first in my reading experience, this volume may be the best Marvel Comics ever. And yes, there are important issues published elsewhere but for me this would be my desert island classic.

more greatness,
By
This review is from: Marvel Masterworks: The Mighty Thor Volume 4 (Hardcover)
The earlier thor is alot of fun for sure. But by volume three and this one the series reaches a more mature nature in writing and style. ( for 60's comics) , the whole feel of the book is better executed and everything clicked with this and the third volume. Altough I loved the first two volumes too, Old comics are just a blast to read for me. They'd be just a popular today if they would have them in the convience stores with this old pencil to penink style as well as the painted ones in comic stores. Oh well , at least we get a great looking book here with the greatness of lee and kirby who make thors story a delight to look at and read. These guys were doing something really different here and you can see the fun they were having. Thor is coming as a movie , I hope they retain some of this era of thor because it's just great.
