Thor (1966) #390 – Thor and The Captain’s Epic Reunion!
Thor (1966) #390 (April 1988), written by Tom DeFalco with pencils by Ron Frenz and inks by Brett Breeding, is a thrilling Copper Age issue. Thor returns to Earth and reunites with his old friend Steve Rogers, who, during this era, operates as “The Captain” after relinquishing the Captain America mantle. Their reunion is cut short when the Demons of Death, malevolent forces, attack, leading to a surprising twist: a revelation about who is worthy to lift Mjolnir, Thor’s enchanted hammer. DeFalco’s story blends high-stakes action with themes of friendship and worthiness, while Ron Frenz’s dynamic art captures the grandeur of Thor’s power and the intensity of the battle. This issue is a standout in the Thor series for its crossover and iconic Mjolnir moment.
Highlights
  • Thor’s heartfelt reunion with Steve Rogers as The Captain.
  • Attack by the Demons of Death with a Mjolnir worthiness twist.
  • Tom DeFalco’s mix of action and emotional resonance.

Value & Trends
  • Current: $5–$15 (VG/FN), $20–$40 (VF), $50–$80 (NM) on eBay/MyComicShop, with CGC 9.8 copies fetching $100–$150 due to the Thor-Captain crossover and Mjolnir moment. Newsstand editions may see a slight premium for scarcity.
  • Trends: Thor’s MCU prominence (Thor: Love and Thunder, 2022), Avengers: Secret Wars (2027) hype, and Godzilla vs. Hulk (2025) boosting Marvel interest could drive 10–15% price hikes in 6–12 months. High-grade copies may hit $100–$200 in 2–3 years if Thor-Captain team-ups or Mjolnir worthiness gain MCU focus. Comic-Con 2025 news could spike demand.
  • Market: Copper Age Thor issues with DeFalco’s writing, Frenz’s art, and Avengers crossovers like The Captain are valued by collectors, especially in NM or slabbed grades.
Key Characters
  • Thor: God of Thunder returning to Earth.
  • The Captain (Steve Rogers): Noble ally in place of Captain America.
  • Demons of Death: Malevolent foes sparking the Mjolnir twist.
