Synopsis
Loki escapes from his prison in Asgard and comes to Earth to get revenge on Thor. The trickster hypnotizes him to help make mischief, but Thor’s transformation into Donald Blake frees him from hypnosis, allowing him to defeat Loki and return him to Asgard.
Notes
This story is divided into two parts: an unmarked first part (5 pp) and part two—"The Vengeance of Loki!" (8 pp). This is the first appearance of Asgard. Balder, Tyr and Odin only appear from behind, and Heimdall looks nothing like his later appearances. The first part is expanded and retold in Thor: First Thunder (Marvel, 2010 series) #2
