Synopsis for "Tales of Asgard Home of the Mighty Norse Gods!: The Crimson Hand!"

When The Enchanted Discs On Yon Glove's Palm Make Contact With Another's Hand, Neither You Nor He Can Mouth Any Words Unless They Be The Solemn Truth!

— Morduk

Continued from last issue....

Preparing for their quest to stop the person responsible for causing the Oversword from crumbling, Thor visits with Morduk who not only charts Thor a course to follow, but gives him a special glove that compels those who shake hands with Thor to tell the truth.

This glove proves advantageous when Thor meets someone that Loki wishes to hire as their ships overseer. When Thor shakes his hand, the man admits that he intended to kill Thor while on their voyage, leading to a fight between the two which Thor easily wins and sends running, much to Loki's chagrin.

With all their preparations set, Thor and Loki set sail on their adventure.

This story is continued next issue....
