Collecting Thor (1966) #349-359 And Annual #13, And Marvel Graphic Novel #15.
Surtur is free! The Casket of Ancient Winters has been opened! An army is marching on Asgard and Earth! Walter Simonson has set the stage for the truly epic conclusion of his "Surtur Saga," and does it ever deliver! Thor, Beta Ray Bill and a host of Marvel Universe heroes fight back the endless invading hordes while Odin marshals his strength to battle Surtur. In the aftermath of this great war, the Rainbow Bridge is shattered and Odin has fallen, which leaves an opening for lying Loki and lascivious Lorelei to work their advantage and take over. Also featuring a never-before-re-presented Annual penciled and inked by John Buscema and the "Raven Banner" graphic novel lavishly illustrated by Charles Vess!
Walt Simonson is an American comic book writer and artist, best known for a run on Marvel Comics' Thor from 1983 to 1987, during which he created the character Beta Ray Bill. He is also known for the creator-owned work Star Slammers, which he inaugurated in 1972 as a Rhode Island School of Design thesis. He has also worked on other Marvel titles such as X-Factor and Fantastic Four, on DC Comics books including Detective Comics, Manhunter, Metal Men and Orion, and on licensed properties such as Star Wars, Alien, Battlestar Galactica and Robocop vs. Terminator.
He is married to comics writer Louise Simonson, with whom he collaborated as penciller on X-Factor from 1988 to 1989, and with whom he made a cameo appearance in the 2011 Thor feature film.
Walt Simonson’s legendary run on Thor continues in this collection. If you haven’t read Walt’s Thor, you really can’t call yourself a Thor fan. Truly epic.
Walt Simonson continues his epic tales of the Thunder God with a huge battle to the finish in the resolution of the Surtur saga, and then plunges ahead with Thor being enspelled and forced to pledge allegiance to the evil Loki. Great story-telling all round and very satisfying.
