The High Evolutionary made his first appearance

Galactus made his first non-FANTASTIC FOUR appearance.

Art by Jack Kirby and Vince Colletta

ON THE SPINNER RACKS SEP/OCT 1967

 

As with many issues the story begins with a dynamic Jack Kirby splash and a Stan Lee recap.

The only other Kirby/Colletta splash treats us to the Circus of Crime and naïve Thor.

PLUS: Jane Foster is in the circus crowd and makes a one panel cameo. Her 50th appearance. Her previous appearance was in THOR #136.

The 16 page story has a cliffhanger.

Thor does not appear in the debut episode of the 5 page Lee/Kirby TALES OF ASGARD replacement.

How much could Lee/Kirby squeeze into 4 panels?

We get a glimpse of the Valhalla ceremonial chamber, Loki being Loki, Balder in a suit and a variation on traveling from Asgard to Midgard - for when the Rainbow Bridge is just too slow!

Plus Thor. Jane Foster. And the Enchantress!

Plenty of differences between this Thor and the Marvel one. Possibly the most interesting was having thunderstorms trigger the mortal-to-Thor transformation. The cover is the work of Curt Swan and Stan Kaye.
