Description

Cover to a Bronze Age (1976) Masterpiece by John Buscema. I've loved this cover since I bought it off the newstands as a kid. How can you beat a cover with Thor, Hogun and Fandral battling "Sporr" to save the Lady Sif? BIG thanks to Mike Burkey who gave me the opportunity to purchase this cover from him.

Great addition to your collection Greg. A suberb job by John and one of the best inkers to ever take brush to page, Frank Giacoa. Congratulations!

The Buscema brothers contributed so much to Marvel Comics during the most important period in comics, at least for me, during my most memorable comic reading years. Rest in peace Big John. Congrats Greg!

The teacher Buscema, the characterization of Thor and Conan are the best, nice cover!

A John Buscema Thor cover is usually always good. But to get one that you remember from your childhood is even better. Congrats on this cool cover.
