This early Thor adventure introduces the Thunder God to one of the Marvel Age’s favorite plot devices: the ever-reliable time travel adventure. Stan Lee had already found that jumping through the ages brought in fans of fantasy, mythology, and science fiction — in addition to being an easy way to explain new super-powered enemies. In this case, Thor’s around for the first appearance of Zarrko the Tomorrow Man, who travels 300 years back in time to steal a Cobalt bomb to start global wars in his dull, peaceful world. Thor travels to Asgard and asks Odin (in their first comics conversation) how to travel to 2262 to stop Zarrko’s evil plan. All of this is penciled by Jack Kirby in an unexpectedly realistic style that’s kept this comic a true collectible amongst the King’s many fervent fans.
