The second Unconscious Thor Cover

This was Thor's 16th appearance of 1967, his 104th of all time.

The Wrecker's second appearance. He debuted in the previous issue. He was featured on both covers, both by Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta, as were the interior pages of both issues.

If you read the previous issue you would have recognized the shadow on this Jack Kirby/Vince Colletta cover as telegraphing the 3rd appearance of Hercules in JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY.
