In this episode, we have our first character profile as I summarize the CV of everyone's favorite bridge-keeper, Heimdall! I also remember an old acquaintance, artist Al Hartley, as we discuss his Thor issue, Journey Into Mystery #90, featuring the Carbon Copy Man! We also discuss Journey Into Mystery #91, where Thor encounters Sandu The Great!
Tree Deaths? - Unfortunately, yes. But they get replaced!
New Powers? - Yes. Thor reveals an ability to conjure forth events that happened in his past. On my planet we call that 'remembering', but somehow on Marvel Earth that counts as a super-power!

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Radio Free Asgard!
In this first episode, I talk about how I got into comics, explain a little of what we're going to be doing here, talk a little about Norse mythology and how the tales of Thor came down to us in the modern world. On the comics side we talk about Journey Into Mystery #83 (Aug 1962) and ask the big question... What exactly did Jack Kirby have against trees??!!
Special thanks to Ross Patzelt.
