Sometimes, it seems as if all literature and fiction is one long series where everything connects. Thus, the Marvel Comics Thor sends a doomsday device to Nastrond and Wikipedia informs us that Nastrond is a place in Hel which is the ninth world.
In speech balloon 1, panel 5, of the attached comic book page, Thor refers to "...the wastes of Nastrond."
-Mark Millar, The Ultimates, Vol 2, Homeland Security (New York, 2004), Chapter Thirteen, "How I Learned To Love The Hulk."
Regular blog readers might remember that, late at night, I switch from prose fiction to graphic fiction for a change of pace but then find something relevant in the graphic fiction.
This is a modernized, hippified Thor very unlike the oafish, boorish original (see combox here).

Kaor, Paul!
Well, I think some of the hippies, not all, were oafs and boors too!
