Journey into Mystery 1952 #123 Regular Edition - 6.0 - $20.00

Thor and reporter Harris Hobbs arrive in Asgard in time to witness Odin?s defeat of Loki and Absorbing Man, both of whom are banished into outer space. Hobbs wants to photograph the events but discovers that his camera has been broken. Meanwhile, in an Asian jungle, a tribal witch doctor discovers a Norn stone which grants him great power.

In Asgard, Odin has a premonition concerning Ragnarok. Meanwhile, Balder saves his fellow crewmates from certain death by blowing his horn. The effects of his actions are that the Dragon of Utgard is destroyed and the ship has safe passage.
