Disclose Notes: The original story was divided into two parts: an unmarked first part (5 pp) and part two- "The Vengeance of Loki!" (8 pp). In this reprint, the chapter heading for part two (on page six) has been removed and the panels on that page have been expanded top and bottom with minor detail added. This was common in these Power Comics reprints. Some 'hip' dialogue in a new text box in the story's final panel draws the reader's attention to the 'next issue' preview on the following page.
