"Cross the rainbow bridge of Asgard, where the booming heavens roar, you'll behold in

endless wonder, the god of wonder, mighty Thor!"

At the palatial townhouse of wealthy Anthony Stark, a meeting of the mighty Avengers comes

to a close.

I suggest that we disband for now.

We all have personal matters that require our attention.

Go ahead, all of you.

I lock up.

So be it.

Stand back while I take my departure.

But if the need arises, my enchanted hammer and myself are at your call as ever.

I'm too tired to walk, Dan.

Let's shrink down and I'll summon my flying ants.

Well, so long till next time, you two.

Hey, where'd they go?

Come on, doll.

I'll race you.

Start flapping those wings, honey.

At least you could give your little wasp a head start.

As long as things are so quiet, I think I'll show Rick some of those acrobatic tricks I've

been promising.

That'll be great, Cap.

Let's go.

I wonder if the Avengers ever suspect that Iron Man is really their host millionaire industrialist,

Tony Stark.

Oh, well, back to the factory in my usual businessman role.

A short time later, at Stark's factory.

We're right on schedule.

Mr. Stark will be pleased.

A noise?

What is it?

It's almost unbearable.

Oh, no.

The sound seems to have ripped our computer apart.

Notify Mr. Stark at once.

What?

You see, a mysterious sound caused all that damage?

I'll be right there.

While deep within an ant hill, Giant Man and the Wasp are in the midst of a research project.

Have you found what you're looking for, Hank?

This place is too dry for my delicate complexion.

Just a little longer, Jan.

I've almost got it.

Hand me that sound.

It's the most unearthly thing I've ever heard.

The vibrations.

The hills caving in.

Get out, quick.

We made it.

Are you all right, honey?

I guess so, considering I just had my makeup smeared by a collapsing ant hill.

You're still a doll.

But we must find out what's causing that fantastic sound.

Meanwhile, in his office, Dr. Don Blake ponders over the headlines.

Another disaster associated with the mysterious sound.

Seems to be happening all over the country.

I think I'll go out for a bit, Jane.

Mind the office.

I won't be long.

There can be no further delay.

I must summon the Avengers.

The source of that destructive sound must be found before any more damage is done.

But where do we start searching?

I have a feeling we won't have far to look.

Whatever it is, it's heading this way.

I suggest we spread out over the countryside, and the first one to get a clue will notify

the others.

Agreed.

It's the only way to find out.

As Thor expected, a few days later, the source makes itself known.

Extra, extra, read all about it.

Mysterious lava man seen approaching city.

Troops in the street, the menace must be near.

Humans, evacuate your cities.

Take to the sea.

I claim all dry surface of earth for the lava people.

Fire!

It's useless.

Our shells are charred before they reach you.

Your weapons are distasteful to me.

I shall destroy them.

So all he did was point his hand.

Fall back!

Our rifles, they've turned into volcanic ash.

There is no time to summon the others.

I must act now.

Back, you demon from the nameless depths.

The surface belongs to mankind, and Thor is their protector.

Your words are as futile as your deeds.

Do not prolong their agony, for the day of the humans is over.

Gone.

Yet I did not strike him.

He must possess power enough to melt the ground beneath his feet.

The depths are his to command.

He is indeed a foe worthy of my mettle, but he must be defeated.

Climb my enchanted mallet.

Seek out the enemy, the costumed one's weapon.

I must not let it strike me.

Your flight is useless in human one.

There is no place where you can be safe from my power.

Bah!

No mere surface dweller can defeat me.

You fight for your cause, mighty one, but I fight for mine.

My people have earned the right to claim the earth's service.

Not so.

The universe is endless.

There is room for all.

There is still time for you to follow the path of peace.

Your people and the humans may yet exist side by side in friendship.

Silence.

I now dispose of you as easily as I shall destroy all humanity.

Nothing can free itself of that thick tote of lava, and now I shall lead my molten armies

to the service so that we may take possession of the earth.

Is this to be the end of mighty Thor and all humanity?

If I marshal all my strength and make one supreme effort, may I have I can shatter this

crushing coat of lava.

Ah!

I am free, but the volcanic menace has escaped.

The first thing to do is summon the Avengers.

Reassembling the Avengers, Thor calls an emergency meeting.

There is more to this than meets the eye.

The lava man was but a scout.

You mean there are more like him?

He claimed he was taking over the surface world for his people.

That means there could be an invasion?

Right, little one, and we've got to prevent it.

The sounds are increasing in intensity.

Each becomes more destructive than the last.

Focus the projector on the southwestern portion of the country, Thor.

That's where all the tests show the deadly sounds are coming from.

The southwest, eh?

Isn't that the Hulk stamping grounds?

Not a chance, giant man.

That isn't the way the Hulk operates.

No one is accusing your green-tinted friend, Rick, but it is our duty to investigate the

area at once.

Then, let's go west, young men.

But before the Avengers can reach the suspected area...

Holy Hannah!

What's that?

First, that strange noise, and now something seems to be growing right out from under our

feet.

General Ross, there seems to be a hill rising up out of the ground.

Hill?

First, there's that flame noise.

Now there's a gold iron mountain popping up on my launching side.

What next?

I don't know, sir.

But how do we get rid of a mountain?

Get Bruce Banner.

He's the scientific genius around here.

Here he comes now, General.

Banner, what do you make of that confounded thing?

It's far more than just a simple hill.

It seems to be composed of some substance that I can't identify.

Well, whatever it is, I want that mountain moved.

In my opinion, it is being moved, sir.

It's as if some force is pushing it up through the ground.

And Dr. Bruce Banner is closer to the shocking truth than he suspects, for directly under

the feet of the mystified humans.

There are few more turns of the gears, and the living rock itself will break through

the crust of the earth, and thus will we wipe out the human race as we seize the surface

world for ourselves.

Your Majesty, listen to me.

We can defeat the earth people without the living rock.

It could destroy both our races, silence, timid one, when this rock explodes.

Only the surface men will perish.

My decision is made.

Keep moving the gears.

And on the surface.

We can't afford to take any chances.

We'll ring it with missiles, general luck, a helicopter, but not one of ours.

They set off limits to any civilian craft.

I'll have their hides.

No.

Wait, captain.

Don't you recognize that ship?

It's the Avengers.

Now we'll get some results around here.

Since the mysterious sounds come from here, we shall attempt to solve this puzzle.

Well, you've come to the right place.

Look at that blasted mountain.

Let me investigate first.

The rest stay back.

Careful, Iron Man.

Dr. Banner thinks the hill may be radioactive.

I suspect it as much, but my armor will protect me from any possible radiation.

There.

By setting my repulsive transistors to the highest intensity, I might be able to blast

through the outer layer and see what's beneath.

Iron Man, it looks as though it's alive.

Back, Cap.

I'm not finished.

I'll give it another blast.

Well, down below.

The surface men are counterattacking.

I warned you they would fight back.

Our might is greater than theirs.

The sooner the battle begins, the sooner all Earth will be ours.

The time has come.

Attack!

Destroy them.

The lava men.

It is as I predicted.

They're attacking.

But I can create dust clouds to blind them temporarily.

The heat is unbearable.

No living being, whether on the surface or below it, may attack an avenger without answering

to the thunderous hammer of Thor.

Easy, fella.

I'd better get you back to the surface.

Your armor is still red hot.

Yes, without my transistors operating full power to cool the circuits, I'm as vulnerable

as anyone.

You must both remain above, with giant man in the wasp.

Only Thor can endure the intense heat that awaits below.

Who is ruler of the lava men?

Take me to him.

Thor, you escaped my coat of lava.

Well, Insolent One, you'll not escape a second time.

See how we heat the very ground beneath your feet, turning it to lava.

The soil grows molten.

I sink into its deadly embrace.

And Thor, son of Odin, lord of Asgard, does not beg for help.

Soon you will be no more.

Nothing can save you now.

How can the mighty Thor survive the molten lava that sucks him down, down?

He sinks into our quagmire of lava.

There is no hope, mighty Thor.

No harm shall come to me, not while my hammer can generate enough cosmic power to harden

the molten lava and lift me up again.

Run!

We must warn the king.

If the lava men dare attack the surface, they must have a weapon more deadly than I suspect.

Come forward, you who call yourself Thor.

I shall show you why it is useless for you surface dwellers to resist us.

So far, all I have heard are empty words and hollow threats.

And behold, the living stone, it is the most dangerous object in all the world.

I shall smash it to nothingness.

Now, hear me first.

It started many moons ago, when a sudden underground blast brought our land.

As a result of a titanic blast, we found one small piece of mysterious lava.

We struck it with one of our tools.

The result was a violent explosion.

Since that day, the remaining fragment has grown and grown.

So I have decided to force it to the surface where, when it finally explodes, it will destroy

those who dwell above us.

I dare not strike the rock, but there must be some way to save the threatened human race.

There is no way attention men of the lava world.

The time has come to strike for victory.

But as they head for the mouth of the tunnel, a surface man, destroy him, that'll be easier

said than done.

Stay back!

Quickly!

Ah!

This stuff is stronger than it looks.

And I hear the lava men charging us.

Don't worry about them, Cap.

I'll hold them off as long as possible.

Where's Thor?

We need him!

He's on the other side of this thundering whore.

Hurry!

They're starting to knock the boulder.

Step aside, Iron Man.

I'm going to cool them off for you.

You did it, big fella.

Now we've got to find Thor.

Well do, partner, as soon as we free Cap.

Did it hurt Cap?

Well, I wouldn't want a steady diet of that kind of treatment.

Now to find Thor.

And deep within, Thor challenges the King himself.

If you will not abandon your deadly plan, then the god of thunder will destroy you without

mercy.

You underestimate the power of my wrath.

And as the glioshock strikes Thor's hand.

You are bewitched!

Your power is stronger than mine!

Desperately the King flees in mute panic before the transformed Thor.

A one-in-a-million chance that my hammer completed the transformation.

He must be in here somewhere.

I must change quickly.

I hear the Avengers coming.

Thor, let us return to the surface, for only by destroying the living rock can we hope

for victory.

Meantime, the rock has reached its maximum size.

Someone must stop that thing.

Where's Bruce Banner?

But Banner has just solved the mystery.

It sends sound waves over vast distances that react like bomb blasts.

Eventually, it will pull itself up, shattering half the planet.

I must...

No!

No!

Not now!

But before the scientist can find a solution, he becomes... the Hulk.

What am I doing here?

And I hear my enemies.

Look, behind us!

It's the Hulk.

That may be the answer.

If we can somehow convince him.

He believes we are his enemies.

He will never cooperate.

Let me hear you!

Let me hear you!

What am I doing here?

And I hear my enemies.

Look, behind us!

It's the Hulk.

That may be the answer.

If we can somehow convince him.

He believes we are his enemies.

That may be the answer.

Let me hear you!

Hulk, listen to me!

The whole Earth will blow up if you don't help.

Good!

Then people will stop hounding the Hulk.

Don't you understand?

We'll all be killed.

I thought you were my friend.

Friend.

Hulk will help friend.

So be it.

Now listen carefully.

Obeying Thor's command, the mighty Hulk will help friend.

The mighty Hulk will help friend.

So be it.

Now listen carefully.

Obeying Thor's command, the mighty Hulk will help friend.

So be it.

Now listen carefully.

So be it.

Now listen carefully.

Obeying Thor's command, the mighty Hulk will help friend.

So be it.
