I Came Here to Get Married and Go Spearfishing: the 8th appearance of Marvel's Leir

The Mighty Thor #423 (SEP 1990)

The primary story of The Mighty Thor #423 takes place in the latter half of an arc called "The Black Galaxy Saga."  Leir's makes another cameo as part of the ongoing storyline in which he has proposed marriage to the Lady Sif--a proposal she has accepted contingent upon one condition, which is where we pick up: 

Having secured Sif's engagement, Leir has made good on his pledge to transport her to Earth.  Aside from knowing how to get to Earth, however, it seems that our favorite hot-headed Celt is largely in the dark about the modern world.


Obviously this is a less-than-auspicious beginning to their trip, so Sif comes up with the reasonable idea that they disguise themselves.



Next Sif leads her companions in the ongoing search for Thor.  In what is one of the most comically weird scenes I can recall in the pages of Thor, the trio show up at the apartment of Eric Masterson (who was, at that time, merged with Thor)

Everything you really need to know about people, you can learn from
watching Miami Vice and Tombstone. -- deep thoughts by Leir
