ON THE SPINNER RACKS 53 YEARS AGO TODAY

Thor was not on the cover of AVENGERS #97 he did appear on 6 of the 21 interior pages.


It was the 9th and final chapter of the Roy Thomas Skrull epic.



It was drawn "virtually overnight" by John Buscema. 

"After doing two or three issues of THE AVENGERS beginning with ish #93, Neal became so enmeshed in deadline problems that there was naught to do but have valiant John Buscema come to our rescue."
    -   from the Letters Page in response to a fan praising Neal Adams art. 

It was Thor's 24th 1971 appearance, his 185th of all time.
