ON THE SPINNER RACKS 57 YEARS AGO TODAY

THOR ANNUAL #2 was in the shops with 30 pages of new Kirby art.


It featured the third appearance of this easily reusable Lee/Kirby-conceived Thor opponent. The Destroyer is a more dramatic foe than a robot because it has to be animated by the lifeforce of  a living being..

Plus: In THOR #132, Thor encountered two iconic science fiction threats - 
a cosmic toll booth

and planet stealing aliens.
