Synopsis
Rocketing towards the planet Rigel in a Rigellian ship, Thor hopes to stop the Rigellian colonization of the planet Earth. Along the way he is intercepted by a Rigellian Sky-Station which demands he identify himself. Thor demands that they release their Space Lock on the Earth. Instead of complying with the Thunder God’s demands, the Rigellians aboard the Sky-Station board his shop instead.
The aliens rely on their superior forcefield technology to try and stop Thor, however this does not work and he easily defeats them in battle with his hammer. He then forces this crew to take him the rest of the way to Rigel.
While on Earth, the Rigellian Colonizer Tana Nile uses her vast mental powers to get a police escort to the United Nations building.
Back on the planet Rigel, the Rigellian Colonizers send a robot Indestructible to deal with Thor. The robot blasts it’s way aboard his ship and engages in battle against the Thunder God.
As the fight rages, with Thor being unable to stop the robot, not until Thor turns it’s own disintegration device on itself, deactivating it.
Thor demands the vessel go further, when the ship is struck from a bolt of energy from the Black Galaxy, destroying part of their vessel.
When the Rigellian Colonization Controller learns of Thor’s progress, he decides to get involved directly and goes to the Power Planet, the planetoid that controls their Space Lock to insure that it is protected at all costs.
Thor arrives shortly after and makes short work of the Rigellians and is about to destroy their Space Lock device when he is stopped by the Grand Commissioner.
The Grand Comissioner explains that there is a far greater menace in the universe coming out of the Black Galaxy. The Grand Commissioner informs Thor that if he ventures into the Black Galaxy and eliminates this threat, they will free the Earth from their control. Thor agrees to do so, and the Rigellians ask that Thor take one of their Recorder robots to document his travels.
Meanwhile, on Earth, Jane Foster (still acting on the hypnotic suggestion of Tana Nile) is on an air plane to Europe. She confides in her fellow man — a piggish looking man named Porga — that she felt compelled to take this flight, a sensation that he himself can relate too.
While back in space, Thor and the Recorder robot travel into the Black Galaxy and find that it is structured in an almost organic fashion, dubbed by the Recorder as a “Bio-Verse.”
Following their navigation they come before Ego the living planet, who tells the two that it has been waiting for them.

Synopsis
Erik Josten, an agent for Baron Zemo before he died, returns to the machinery used to create Wonder Man. There he finds the Enchantress, who tells him she will use the machine to make him strong too. He agrees and is given the name “Power Man”. The Enchantress then creates a number of illusions around the city that make the Avengers seem dangerous when they accidentally destroy property and endanger lives. Captain America then tries to subdue Power Man as he attacks men with important documents, only to find out that the men were imposters trying to steal them. Hawkeye, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are also caught with similar traps. The Avengers believe themselves to be nuisances and are ordered by the authorities to disband.
Notes
- The Avengers last appeared in Fantastic Four Annual #3 (in Italy in F4C # 39) where they defended the Richards wedding from an army of super-villains that were manipulated by Dr. Doom into crashing the reception.
- Hawkeye, Quicksilver, and Scarlet Witch made a brief cameo apperance in Journey Into Mystery #120 (in Italy in THC # 23), where Thor journeyed to Avengers Mansion seeking aid only to find the new members whom he wasn’t familiar with.
- This is the first appearance of Erik Josten, who took on the mantel of Power Man at this time.
- Although there is a Captain America story in Tales of Suspense #70 (in Italy in CAPC # 4) . it is a flashback tale from World War II.
- The Enchantress was last seen in Fantastic Four Annual #3 (in Italy in F4C # 39) where she was manipulated by Dr. Doom into crashing the Richards wedding, she was defeated by a number of New York’s heroes who were attending the wedding.
- Josten’s recounting the end of his employment with Baron Zemo refers to Zemo’s death (and the destruction of his base in South America) at the hand of Captain America back in Avengers #15 (in Italy in THC # 22).
- References to the Zemo’s creation of Wonder Man are a reference to Avengers #9 (in Italy in THC # 16). The device the is used on Josten to turn him into Power Man was the same device that turn Simon Williams into Wonder Man.
- The Avengers, Power Man, and Enchantress are all seen again in Avengers #22 (in this italian next issue).
