The second issue of THOR to have a John Romita cover.

After a monolog recap Thor spends THOR #170 engaged in battle with a giant robot that Lee/Kirby created in the previous issue. The Warriors Three assist him. 
Plus there is a 2 page sequence "many worlds away" featuring Karnilla and Loki having a non-violent spat. THOR #170 is one of those rare issues that doesn't introduce any new characters.

ON THE SPINNER RACKS 55 YEARS AGO TODAY

If you hadn't read JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #83  or  MARVEL TALES #1, it was your lucky day. Thor's origin was available for the third time.
Even if you had, it was still worth 12 cents to experience the 7 brand new pages of Kirby Thor art that bookended the reprint. This one was my personal favorite.
