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.

Asgard Tourist Season (Jack Kirby 1967)

Thor first appeared in comics 22 years before his Marvel incarnation.

 

His series debuted in Weird Comics #1 (1940) and lasted five issues.
