DESCRIPTION
Jack Kirby cvr/art; 1st app. of Hercules and Zeus, Thor vs. Hercules battle cover; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 7 (CBI)
Journey Into Mystery Annual #1 was the one and only copy, but Stan Lee and Jack Kirby made sure this special was a real classic before Thor ascended to his own title.
"When Titans Clash!" properly brings Hercules into the Marvel Age as both a worthy opponent for Thor and an exciting new variation on the Asgardian gods. Thor is out with Loki when the God of Mischief runs off as they encounter some Frost Giants. That leaves Thor alone to come across the entrance to Olympus.
He then quickly meets Hercules, who insists on challenging Thor over a petty dispute about who'll first cross a bridge. The resulting battle is still a major Marvel event, including Thor discovering that there are others who can get a hold on the mystical hammer of Mjolnir. Fortunately, Zeus comes along to break up the brawl. Thor and Hercules then reconcile while the Asgardian begins some diplomatic overtures to the Olympian gods. This, of course, will lead to Marvel bringing in colorful new characters — including Hera, Ares, and Pluto — who'll make their own major contributions to the Marvel Universe!
