MARVEL GALLERY LADY THOR PVC FIG

A Diamond Select Toys Release! Time to put the hammer down! The second release in DST's all-new Marvel Femme Fatales PVC Figure series is none other than the goddess of thunder herself, the all-new, all-different Thor! Measuring approximately 9 inches tall, this PVC figure of the mysterious new Thor perches atop a rocky outcropping, as if preparing to take flight or summon a lightning bolt from the heavens. Packaged in a full-color window box. Sculpted by Sam Greenwell!

Even though he wasn't on the cover Thor appeared in AVENGERS #45

Continuity was King during the Lee/Thomas Era of Marvel Comics. Lee most likely polished panel 4 of this page since it references a plot that he had provided to Kirby.

JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #121's Tales of Asgard episode was the only one in the series to open with two consecutive full-panel pages.

It was also the first episode that Kirby didn't design any new characters for.
