     Thor's 65th appearance
     Odin's 28th

ON THE SPINNER RACKS May/June 1963

Thor's 5th 1963 appearance. 12th of all time.
The 3rd Thor/Loki cover of 1963. All 3 penciled by Jack Kirby. 
    A big story packed into 80 panels divided among a mere 12 pages (not counting the splash). Joe Sinnott is tasked with drawing the U.N. Building, the Empire State Building, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Sphinx and the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

The first issue since JIM #83 not to have Jane Foster in it.
