*Marvel: Thor had fallen into a rut of recycling of the same tired old tropes by (dare we say it?) the same tired old creators when writer/artist Walt Simonson took everyone by surprise, revitalising the series commencing with #337. This introduced the horse-faced alien thunder god Beta Ray Bill, a concept which should never have worked, but oddly caught on with readers at large, as well as debuting the Enchantress’ previously-unsuspected younger – and against all odds, wilier – sister, Lorelei. Simonson’s run on the series, bringing new life to the elder gods, remains hugely popular today, and this is the pivotal relaunch issue, Cents copy VF/NM at £65. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
