Synopsis

First published in Comet comic in 1949, the adventures of Jack Jaxon — a young boy who, wearing the belt of Thor, became the mighty hero Thunderbolt Jaxon — thrilled youngsters all over the UK!

Now the story begins anew, as Jack Jaxon and his friends, Saf and Billy, accidentally unearth the magical belt — only to discover that things in their home town are not what they seem, as the Norse gods and immortal giants are still fighting their endless battle! But can Jack wield Thor’s power and remain himself...?

This bold re-imagining of the classic series is written by the critically acclaimed scribe and artist Dave Gibbons (Watchmen) with art by John Higgins (War Story)!
