ON THE SPINNER RACKS SEP/OCT 1967
As with many issues the story begins with a dynamic Kirby splash and a necessary Lee recap.
The only other Kirby and Colletta splash treats us to the full Circus of Crime and naïve Thor.
PLUS: Jane Foster was in the circus crowd and would make a one panel cameo. It was her 50th appearance. Her previous appearance was in THOR #136.
The 16 page story ends with a cliffhanger and a "Next - the wrath of Odin"
Thor does not appear in the debut episode of the 5 page Lee/Kirby TALES OF ASGARD replacement.
