ON THE THE SPINNER RACKS Jan/Feb 1966

 Thor's 75th appearance.

The Marvel Age of Comparative Mythology continued with the 4th appearance of  Hercules. Herc debuted in JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY ANNUAL #1 eight months earlier.

 

What the cover promises 13 of the 16 pages of the main story deliver - Thor and Hercules fighting over Nurse Foster (her 40th appearance)


The ingredients for a perfect page - Kirby/Colletta art, Thor battling a worthy opponent, the Rainbow Bridge, Asgard, angry Odin (his 35th appearance) and Balder (his 15th appearance).

Helping to make this a superior issue so was Loki (his 31st appearance) and Thor continuing a quest in the 5 page Tales of Asgard back-up.

Doctor Don Blake does not appear in this issue
