Disclose Notes: This story is divided into two parts: an unmarked first part (5 pp) and part two—"The Vengeance of Loki!" (8 pp). This is the first appearance of Asgard. Heimdall looks nothing like his later appearances. Odin's name is mentioned for the first time.

The first part is expanded and retold in Thor: First Thunder (Marvel, 2010 series) #2.
