Synopsis for "The Stone Men From Saturn!"
Journey Into Mystery #83
On vacation in Norway, lame Dr. Donald Blake sees Kronans landing an invasin force. Spotted by the alens, he flees, losing his cane and hiding in a cave whose back exit is blocked by a boulder. Finding a hidden door that leads to a secret chamber, Don discovers a gnarled stick, "like an ancient cane," that he tries to use as a lever on the boulder. Frustrated, Don strikes the cane against the rock. Suddenly he transforms into Thor, while the cane becomes the enchanted mallet Mjolnir. Thor easily lifts the boulder to escape but finds that if he goes 60 seconds without touching the hammer, he becomes Blake again. He also learns that the hammer returns to him if thrown and creates rain, snow, and lightning. The Kronans overwhelm NATO forces but Thor assaults them, holding them at bay, demolishing their Mechano-Monster robot and chasing their fleet back into space. Thor turns back into Blake. The NATO forces can't figure out why the invaders fled since all they see is a "lame passerby with a gnarled old cane."
