ON THE SPINNER RACKS Feb/Mar 1969

THOR fan of more than 3 years would have recognized the bald man dominating (thanks to the dynamic Jack Kirby layout) the cover as Pluto. It was Pluto's 5th THOR appearance but only the second time he appeared on the cover.


Even though Thor is not on the Steranko cover, he appears (along with a lot of other top tier guest stars) in this Jim Steranko/Tom Palmer drawn comic.

ON THE SPINNER RACKS Feb/Mar 1964

It was a good time to be a Thor fan. Not only did he star in JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #103, he also made a guest appearance in FANTASTIC FOUR.
