On
his search for Sif, Thor lands in a London neighborhood and strike his hammer
to the ground to transform back into Don Blake. Unknown to him, the vibrations
enter the ground, penetrating the depths until they reach a body inside and
alien shell—and awaken it….
Don
goes into a pub for a meal and is surprised to see the Grand Vizier sit down
opposite him. The Vizier explains that he is disguised as a mortal to all eyes
but his. The visitor wants to know why Thor is not at the gates of Asgard
begging Odin’s forgiveness and Don explains that his search for Sif, now in its
tenth day, takes precedence. Suddenly, the entire neighborhood shakes and a
blue-skinned giant bursts from the ground. Don transforms into Thor and
confronts the giant, who calls himself Demon Druid. But DD has a mission to
complete so he blasts Thor, knocking him unconscious and goes on his way. Thor
awakens to meet Lt. Prichard of Scotland Yard, who has men tracking the Demon
Druid via a viewscreen. They watch as DD travels southwest, knocking down
everything in his way with some sort of force field, and withstanding attacks by
the army. Thor flies to the scene while Prichard talks to a scientist who tells
him the rock of DD’s cocoon is over 3000 years old, sending him to the
library….
Thor
arrives and attacks the Demon Druid but discovers his blows have little effect
on his foe while the other’s blasts can overpower the Thunder God. Thor throws
all of his storm powers against DD but they have no effect. Finally, a single
all-powerful blast from Mjolnir is able to hurt Demon Druid who returns the
blast and they both fall unconscious. Prichard arrives and tells the reviving
Thor not to attack DD any longer. DD rises and heads for Stonehenge, unimpeded
and from the center of the monument, he blasts off into space. Prichard
explains that the foe was an alien visitor worshipped as a god by the Druids
and merely wanted to go home….
