ON THE SPINNER RACKS 56 YEARS AGO TODAY

The second part of the Enchanters trilogy.

After this rather stark synopsis page was an issue just as exciting as the previous one. 

Thor's 9th appearance of 1967. His 97th of all time.

Odin's 6th appearance of 1967. His 48th of all time.

Balder's 3rd appearance of 1967. His 23rd of all time.

Sif's 6th appearance of 1967. Her 9th of all time.

It was the second Thor comic that I ever read. Lee and Kirby could be sure that I wouldn't miss the final episode of this epic!!
