COMIC CONNECTIONS: Thor, Beta Ray Bill and the End of Days

Episode 10 - Beta Ray (Bill) and the End of Days

This week as we get ready to watch the first Thor movie from 2011 we are heading back in time.  Our first comic for this week is Thor’s first ever Marvel appearance, in Journey into Mystery #83 from August 1962, after which we will skip ahead to the beginning of the Walt Simonson run from the mid-1980s.  We start reading in that era with the introduction of Beta Ray Bill in Thor #337 and continue up to #353, which was the end of the multi-year Surtur Saga.
