ON THE SPINNER RACKS January/February 1967

 Thor's 89th appearance.

What the cover promised the story delivered - Jack Kirby trolls! 

Plus the second appearance of Ulik
- Mightiest of the Rock Trolls

Although Ulik doesn't appear in this trollfest splash, or the other  2 splashes either, he does appear on half of the 16 pages.

Sif 's 4th appearance and a 5 page Thor-centric Kirby/Colletta Tales of Asgard back-up featuring the Warriors Three make this a better than average issue. Both stories are continued.
