Move over, Odinson — there’s a tiny green hero hopping into the spotlight. Marvel fans have a soft spot for Throg, the frog who became worthy of Mjolnir, and now he’s the star of an exclusive lithograph tied to Clover Press’s upcoming Marvel Masterworks line. If you love collectibles, comic nostalgia, or just a good underdog (under-frog?) story, this one’s for you.

Why Fans Are Excited
Beyond the adorable Throg artwork, the real draw is restoration quality. Over 200 pages of Walter Simonson’s legendary Thor run have been rebuilt from original scans, and a significant chunk of the final Tomb of Dracula issue — long plagued by poor print quality — has finally been restored properly. For longtime readers, this is as much a preservation project as a nostalgia trip.
Collector extras include premium boxes, membership cards, character stickers, art prints, and die-cut slipcases, making this less a book release and more a full fan experience.
