ON THE SPINNER RACKS 60 YEARS AGO TODAY

Jack (King) Kirby's 17th Thor cover. It was the first time that (Dashing) Don Heck did the embellishing. It was Nurse Foster's 3rd cover appearance. It was the first time that Dr. Blake appeared on the cover. 


It was the third time that Dependable Don produced the story art.
It was Thor's 19th appearance, Don Blake's 19th appearance, Jane Foster's 16th appearance, Odin's 12th appearance and Mister Hyde's 1st appearance

Odin appears in the Kirby-rendered 5 page Tales of Asgard back-up and as the cover promised, you meet Surtur.


Plus for completists only
TALES OF SUSPENSE #49 
Thor appears in one panel to explain why he didn't come running to assist Iron Man. Art by the great Steve Ditko.
