Thor, god of Thunder, faces Ajax of the Eternals and Ereshkigal of the Deviants on this great cover. Although Jack Kirby created the Eternals and Deviants, this was Ereshkigal's first appearance and she was created by Roy Thomas and John Buscema. Bronze Age Cockrum covers have taken off recently, showing increased demand for one of the premiere artists of the era. Pen and ink. Art is in excellent condition. Signed by Cockrum and McLeaod.
