 If Marvel hadn't of run out of room on the cover they might have mentioned that Heimdall rebuilds the Rainbow Bridge (with the the help of the Royal Scepter). He's filling in for Odin, who felt the need of a nap.

Ron Frenz and Joe Sinnott channel their inner Kirby with this dynamic full-pager.

Unfortunately the cover doesn't warn potential buyers that there is also a non-Thor 5 page "Tales of the Earth Force" back-up story.

ON THE SPINNER RACKS Sep/Oct 1968

If you hadn't read JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #83  or  MARVEL TALES #1, it was your lucky day. Thor's origin was available for the third time.

Even if you had, it was still worth 12 cents to experience the 7 brand new pages of Kirby Thor art that bookended the reprint. This one was my personal favorite.

Thor's 15th appearance of 1980 (his 3rd in 3 weeks) 

His 410th of all time.

What the Bill Sienkiewicz cover promises the 22 page Doug Moench story delivers.

The first of the 7 multi-panel Thor-graced pages Sienkiewicz is tasked with producing is a prime example of his art mastery. 

The cover was embellished by Joe Sinnott and the interior pages were finished by Pablos Marcos.
