A vintage 1984 three-page photo-comic depicting the epic battle between Thor and Cronos of VENOM (fought over Thor's wife Pantera) has been posted online at the Bazillion Points Blog.

Bazillion's Ian Christe writes: "This bout 'tween the 'God of Thunder' and 'VENOM's Black Metal King' leaves no question about the show business side of heavy metal in its peak years. Cronos looks evil as ever crawling over a castle ruin in his leather underwear — but he's battling a force of good in a Crazy magazine-style realm laced with bad puns and fake blood! That the battle is waged over Thor's wife Pantera reminds me that she was the most famous Pantera in heavy metal until about 1991."
