ON THE SPINNER RACKS Jan/Feb 1969
The 3rd consecutive issue to feature Galactus. The 18th consecutive issue that Lee/Kirby didn't create any new characters for.
To make sure the Galactus appearance had an epic feel splash pages were used for 30% of the issue.

ON THE SPINNER RACKS Jan/Feb 1968
Loki's 14th cover appearance. Like the previous 13 it was penciled by Jack Kirby. It was the 6th Loki cover to be embellished by Vince Colletta. Dick Ayers inked 5. Ditko, Roussos & Stone each did one a piece.
Besides being on the cover Loki makes his 35th appearance in this issue.
They are not on the cover but Sif, Balder, Karnilla, the Wrecker and the Destroyer contribute to making this a nearly perfect issue.
A 16 page chapter of a continued story. It could have been 5 pages longer if not for the Inhumans back-up story.
There was only 2 Kirby splash pages. The other splash was basically the same as the cover composition minus the floating Loki head.
