Bizarre Adventures (Marvel / Curtis) No. 32, August 1982
The latest issue of Bizarre Adventures has been on the stands for a month. The magazine is on its last legs; more and more of its content consists of mediocre comics, probably a reflection of the fatigue of editor Dennis O'Neil.
Issue 32 is advertised as a 'God' issue that focuses its attention on the phenomenon of deities. Most of the strips in this issue ('Demon's Bridge', 'What Fools These Gods Shall Be', 'The Streak') are cartoony works of low quality.
Bizarre Adventures will fold with issue 34,but there still are some memorable stories within its pages, and for issue 32, 'Sea of Destiny' certainly qualifies as memorable. It features Thor, and some outstanding graytone artwork by the British artist John Bolton. It's one of the best stories ever to appear in a Marvel / Curtis magazine. I've posted it in its entirety below.
