OK Marvel Fans, I'll send you a digital No-Prize if you can figure this one out!

Lady Sif, and the mortal side is Jane Foster.

During the 25 cent period of Thor, Jane Foster was dying, and would not survive. Sif used her mortal incarnation on earth to inhabit Jane Foster to save her..basically Sif can no longer appear on earth and did so to save jane Foster because she loved Thor.

If I find the issue in question I will post it. Somewhere around issue 236 with the Absorbing Man.

I think Valkyrie in the listing is the mistake...

Well, considering that Hake's published a full page ad in CBG that noted "all lots may be viewed online" but forgot to put the web site address in the ad, I wouldn't be surprised if they made an error in their listing!

That's Lady Sif on one side, the other side is Jane Foster. The better no-prize would be WHAT ISSUES of Thor are those images from... They're both by Buscema, so that narrows it down, and the copyright 1975 narrows it down even further. Anybody have their issues of Thor floating around from issues 210-245?

 

It might be earlier than that, but I doubt it. The Jane Foster image especially looks very 1973-1975 Marvel to me.

 

And is Lady Sif no longer in Thor books? I haven't read Thor in 20 years so I have no idea.

[DKB]

I haven't read any Thor in awhile, about 5 years behind on that stack, but she was in Loki! Great book!

That's a great price for one of those, by the way.

She was also in the final Thor epic and bit along with everyone else in Asgard.

It's actually a composite of the front of the box and the sides from about a dozen scans I had to make (you can see the text is still a bit jumbled.) The actual box is pretty nice and not flattened as it appears in the jpg.

That IS a nice set. This one that was referred to earlier from Hake's closed for only $229. Quite a bargain for an unopened one. I think when the description says "Characters include" that it leaves open the possibility that more characters are included than are stated. After all, who would be wavering in a decision to buy this, then see Jane Foster is included and then suddenly decide to purchase it solely for this reason!

And is Lady Sif no longer in Thor books?

 

 

There's no longer a THOR book!
