ON THE SPINNER RACKS Apr/May 1964
JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #105 was the first issue completely penciled by Jack Kirby and the first to expand the lead Thor story from 13 to 18 pages.
Counting the first 5 issues of the AVENGERS, this was Thor's 28th appearance.
The 18 page lead story had a guest appearance by the Avengers in their sparse headquarters.
The 6th Tales Of Asgard back-up was a 5-pager spotlighting Heimdall, his 7th appearance.
It was also the second Tales of Asgard episode to begin with a splash page followed by 4 pages of 4 equal-sized panels.
