Super-Love MIGHTY THOR "To Become an Immortal!" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...Thor has brought his mortal love, Jane Foster, to Asgard to "meet the family" and get All-Father Odin's approval for marriage!
However, things are not going as well as hoped...

Though the romance between Jane and Thor ended at this point, it wasn't truly over (as explained HERE)!
Eventually, Jane became the Goddess of Thunder by wielding Mjonir!
But before that momentous event occurred in the Marvel Universe, it happened in an "imaginary story" that was never part of official Marvel history...though it was published by Marvel!
You can see that story HERE!
Next Week:
Another super-romance (with a wedding) featuring the most famous couple in comic book history!

Super-Love MIGHTY THOR "To Become an Immortal!" Part 1

From Mighty Thor's introduction in Marvel's Journey into Mystery #83 (1962)...

...one of the ongoing plotlines was Dr Don Blake aka Thor's love for Nurse Jane Foster.

It was a classic case of unrequited love, complicated by the fact that Thor's father (Odin, ruler of the Norse gods) disapproved of the romance, believing the mortal woman was "unworthy" of his immortal son!
Thor eventually revealed his secret to Jane, and, in Marvel's Mighty Thor #136 (1966), brought her to Asgard to meet the family...
This certainly takes meeting the prospective in-laws to a new level of stress!

SPECIAL: True Love on THORSday!

From Journey into Mystery #90. Art by Al Hartley
A classic example of how 1960s superhero titles handled romance.
Ironically, this is the only issue of any superhero book artist Al Hartley drew.
You'll be seeing more of his work in this blog, but on romance stories!
The movie adaptation of Thor, starring hunky Chris Hemsworth as Thor and beautiful Natalie Portman as Jane Foster, opens tomorrow.
