Description: This extraordinary original page from The Mighty Thor #412 stands as an essential, blue-chip artifact from the twilight of the Copper Age, marking the historic first full appearance of the New Warriors and Night Thrasher. Penciled by Ron Frenz, the page showcases his exceptional gift for layout and kinetic superhero action, perfectly framing a chaotic, high-stakes battle as the youthful team steps up to clash with the unstoppable Juggernaut. The visual storytelling is elevated to legendary status by the inks of Hall of Famer Joe Sinnott, whose crisp, definitive, and robust brushwork lends a polished, timeless majesty to Frenz's pencils. Serving as page 18, this sequence hits at the absolute climax of the issue, capturing the precise moment these fresh heroes—including Night Thrasher, Nova, Speedball, and Firestar—prove their mettle on the battlefield while the God of Thunder fights to regain his strength. Because this fateful debut successfully launched a beloved 1990s franchise and redefined Marvel's youth-hero dynamic, owning a climax-level key page from this milestone issue is a premier opportunity for any serious collector of modern Marvel history.
