Walter Simonson’s legendary run begins: now finally in Epic Collection format!
With Thor #337, writer and artist Walter Simonson launched what would become one of the most celebrated Marvel runs of the 1980s. From the moment a mysterious, horse-faced alien named Beta Ray Bill proved worthy to wield Mjolnir, it was clear that Simonson was reshaping Thor’s mythos in bold new ways.
Combining Norse mythology with cosmic adventure, Simonson redefined the God of Thunder with a sweeping narrative that pulled no punches and introducing major new characters, resurrecting ancient threats like Surtur, and delivering massive, high-stakes drama that still resonates today.
This volume kicks off Simonson’s four-year saga with the first twenty issues of his run, including the Casket of Ancient Winters storyline and the full-scale assault of Surtur on Asgard and Earth. It’s essential reading for Marvel fans and a landmark in superhero comics history. First published in 1983, this run is widely considered one of the finest of the Bronze Age of Comics and remains a cornerstone of Thor’s legacy.
