Where Mortals Fear To Tread!
"Last issue, while battling the dreaded Absorbing Man, mighty Thor turned to aid a helpless child!"
Storyline
Thor and Absorbing Man resume their battle from last issue. Thor gains the upper hand. Loki, fearful of Creel’s defeat, transports him to Asgard. Meanwhile, Thor rescues Jane Foster from a locked room filling with smoke. He transforms into Doctor Blake, but the transformation is witnessed by reporter Harris Hobbs who engineered the smoke-filled room scenario for the purpose of discovering Thor’s secret. Hobbs says he will destroy his evidence of Thor’s dual-identity if Thor will take him to Asgard. Meanwhile, in Asgard, Creel confronts Odin who blasts him with cosmic energy, which he absorbs!
