The most important part, of course, is there in the lower right corner of the second page: "To Shopping Center."

It seems that even the talents of Jack Kirby weren't up to portraying the unbelievable glory of Asgardian shopping malls! Don't try to imagine it--the very concept might overwhelm your feeble mortal brain!!

Song in Asgardian font instead of a Canadian accent, of course...

I've never heard that song, oh, Canada.

Great posters, though - this is what's missing from modern comics.
