ON THE SPINNER RACKS 58 YEARS AGO TODAY

As a Thor fan, in the Sixties this was the best you could hope for.  A Lee/Kirby/Colletta collaborative masterpiece.


The first 3 pages once again showcases how well Thor relates with mortals

Loki appears for the 25th time
Jane Foster appears for the 35th time
A 1965 addition to Thor's Rogues Gallery, the Absorbing Man appears for the 3rd time.
The 16 page lead story and the 5 page Tales of Asgard back-up (with the first appearances of  Volstagg, Fandral and Hogun) are both the first installments of continued stories.





Not only is Thor on the cover of this Annual. He also appears on 5 pages.
