91 YEARS AGO TODAY

 The first man to script Thor was born

Thor was just another story. I didn't think about it at all. Stan said, "I'm trying to make up a character," and he gave me the plot, and he said, "Why don't you write the story?"

BORN 96 YEARS AGO TODAY

Frequent Kirby embellisher - master craftsman Joe Sinnott. 

Not only did he collaborate with Kirby on the first two JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY Thor covers he also did the full art for the 13 page Thor stories in JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #91, 92, 94, 95 and 96.

Like Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers, Joe Sinnott was another hero that depicted heroes (All three defended America in World War II.)
