 If Marvel hadn't of run out of room on the cover they might have mentioned that Heimdall rebuilds the Rainbow Bridge (with the the help of the Royal Scepter). He's filling in for Odin, who felt the need of a nap.

Ron Frenz and Joe Sinnott channel their inner Kirby with this dynamic full-pager that delivers what of the cover's promises.
Unfortunately the cover doesn't warn potential buyers that there is also a non-Thor 5 page "Tales of the Earth Force" back-up story.

ON THE SPINNER RACKS Sep/Oct 1968

If you hadn't read JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #83  or  MARVEL TALES #1, it was your lucky day. Thor's origin was available for the third time.
Even if you had, it was still worth 12 cents to experience the 7 brand new pages of Kirby Thor art that bookended the reprint. This one was my personal favorite.
