If you had been reading comics for ten years, one of the comic covers vying for your attention on the local spinner rack might have given you a mild case of De ja Vu... (both covers by Kirby)

ON THE SPINNER RACKS Jul/Aug 1968
The Mangog saga Lee/Kirby seemed to be trying surpass their earlier FANTASTIC FOUR Galactus trilogy. Instead of merely eating the Earth, it aimed to destroy the universe by unsheathing the Odinsword.
The four years Marvel paid Jack Kirby to hone his monster-designing skills (1958-1962) was indeed money well-spent.

ON THE SPINNER RACKS July/Aug 1965
As a Sixties Thor fan this was the best you could hope for, a Lee/Kirby/Colletta collaboration!
The first 3 pages once again showcases how well Thor relates with mortals
Loki appears for the 25th time
Jane Foster appears for the 35th time
A 1965 addition to Thor's Rogues Gallery, the Absorbing Man appears for the 3rd time.
The 16 page lead story and the 5 page Tales of Asgard back-up (with the first appearances of Volstagg, Fandral and Hogun) are both the first installments of continued stories.
Not only is Thor on the cover of this Annual. He also appears on 5 pages.
