Today sees the destruction of the Statue Of Liberty in a Marvel comic book title. But this is hardly the first time. In fact, we have our 81st anniversary of the first time Marvel destroyed that symbol of freedom, a gift from the people of France, designed by sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, built by Gustave Eiffel and dedicated in 1886. All-Winners Comics #4, published by Marvel when it was known as Timely Comics in 1942, featured the Human Torch and saw the Statue Of Liberty first destroyed by Japanese spy Moppino. And yes, it was a different time.

Cut from the Golden Age to the Silver/Bronze Age, we saw Gog destroying the Statue Of Liberty in Astonishing Tales #18 in 1973.

…, which was then repaired by the Avengers in Avengers #113, also in 1973. Which was nice and canon of them.

However, the Hulk in Incredible Hulk #206 in 1976 ripped off the torch arm. This would be the first of many times.

In Nova #6, also in 1976, Nova noted that it had been repaired, however.

It would be quite a while, though but two decades later, in Thunderbolts #1 in 1997, the Wrecking Crew did the same damage to the Torch arm…

…though the Thunderbolts helped repair the statue later.

Magneto destroyed the Statue Of Liberty and much of New York in New X-Men #147 in 2003.

Later, in Uncanny X-Men #442, in 2004, the damage had still not been repaired.

But it must have been before Sinthea Schmidt blew up just one eye of the Statue Of Liberty, which was a little minor compared to everyone else’s damage, in Captain America #615 in 2011.

It also took a while to be repaired, as seen in Fear Itself: Sins Past #1 in 2011.

The statue was again destroyed in Rocket Raccoon #4 in a fight between Ricky and Kraven The Hunter in 2017,

No one knows who paid to repair it.

Doombots would also have a go in Amazing Spider-Man #36 in 2020.

And the Human Torch would melt the Statue Of Liberty’s torch arm one last time in Fantastic Four #37 in 2021.

So today, in the Captain America Finale #1, we see Steve Rogers jogging past the statue… as the sun rises.

…so presumably, the events of Immortal Thor #1, where Thor loses control of the storm to a rival, the Toranos, The Utgard-Thor, would come later. Say, the Statue Of Liberty being destroyed has never had a double-page splash before… does that mean it will stay unrepaired for longer this time?

Maybe it will just buff out? Damn you! God damn you all to hell!
