That sounds like trauma.🤔I’m guessing this isn’t the 1st time big bro has stuffed Loki in a sack.🛍️Hey, you chose to be a pigeon.🤷🏻‍♂️Loki is captured, the city is back to normal, and no more ice cream cars.👎🏼Sigh.🍦I hope you’re enjoying going through my Thor run with me. See you next week with issue 89!🍻

Thor has caught the Loki pigeon in a sack, and then he reverts to regular Loki form. Loki is really freaking out about being in that sack, sounds like that’s how the kids picked on him when he was young. Sorry Loki, next time be less evil. See you next week!

Two can play the trickster game! Blake makes a Thor mannequin to fool Loki into releasing his hammer from the magical forcefield. Oh, yeah, MAGICAL FORCEFIELD! But it was a ruse! Loki buys it and drops the forcefield to see what’s going on, and Dr. Blake leaps in and touches the hammer.💥⛈️💥 THOR!🔨⚡️

Blake has placed the Thor dummy in front of Loki‘s forcefield, to fool him into thinking that Thor has retrieved his hammer. But the trickster got tricked! When Loki drops the forcefield to see what’s going on, Dr. Blake rushes in and transforms back into Thor. Now you’re in trouble, Loki! Dad‘s gonna hear all about this!

2312

TERROR!😱HORROR!🙀Sundaes?🍨 I don’t know, that doesn’t seem so bad to me? Keep terrorizing New York, Loki. Oh, the terror! Can you turn a pigeon into a bagel? Loki goes on a mischievous spree through the boroughs.

Loki confuses and terrorizes the local citizenry by doing things like turning their cars into ice cream sundaes. Oh no, whatever you do, don’t turn my mother-in-law into a pile of pancakes. Don’t you dare!

More pigeons!🐦Loki is in New York so he wants to blend into the crowd. He transforms himself into a pigeon to fool Thor. I’m starting to think Kirby has a problem with pigeons. He must be one of those “flying rat” types. Loki escapes to terrorize the city with his illusions and mischievous magic.

Loki wants to escape Thor and further terrorize New York, so he transforms into one of New York’s most populous residents, a pigeon! Once he’s in the flock, eating dirty crumbs off the street, there’s no way to tell them apart. Loki escapes again.

3130

OLÉ!🐂 Loki does his best matador impression, easily sidestepping Thor’s “Invincible Hammer.” Too bad, that was a sweet throw! Before Thor can plan his next move Loki turns a tree into a tiger to go after MESMERIZED JANE!😵‍💫Oh, yeah, Loki hypnotized Jane to use her against Thor. Shady Loki gonna shady!

Thor throws his hammer with perfect form, but little brother Loki easily sidesteps. Work on that aim, dude! Loki turns a nearby tree into a tiger to menace Thor’s love interest, Jane Foster. Messing with someone’s girl, Loki, that’s gonna get you one heck of a massive blow!

2140

Oh, those Electronically Treated Chains!😩Thanks to the RED’s perfect weapon Loki learns he needs to separate Thor from his hammer if he wants any shot at beating big brother.🫸🏻🔨 But how can he escape Asgard to enact his plan?🤔 Turn into a snake and slither between his jailors legs. 0 for 2, Heimdall…

Loki watches Thor struggle with the electronically treated chains from the REDS last issue, and realizes that he needs to separate Thor from his hammer to have a shot in this fight. Little brothers are always so sneaky! Next problem, how does he get past his captor? How about turning into a snake and slithering right through their legs? You 0 for two now, Heimdall. Time to either up that game, or get some glasses.

2130

Loki is grounded to his room by Daddy Dearest. DAD!🤬But his plotting continues!😈He scries Thor transforming into 98lb weakling Dr Blake and sees an evil opportunity.🤔A plan is hatched!🐣Loki needs to separate his accursed brother from his blasted hammer to enact his dastardly plan! But first, escape.

This is the chapter splash for “The Vengeance of Loki!” written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, pencilled by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, and inked by Steve Ditko and Dick Ayers. Lots of cooks in this kitchen! Thor faces off against Loki, as they begin the next of their endless battles. Thor is casually swinging his hammer, while Loki leans in unconcerned. Brothers gonna brother. Who gets hurt first and cries to Dad?

1150

Happy #Thorsday everybody!🔨⚡️Thor’s half brother makes an appearance…LOKI! And more pigeons!🐦SQUAWK! Wouldya believe ice cream cars? With a cherry on top!🍦Loki gets too clever for his own good as he does. Oh yeah, KIRBY and DITKO cover!🚨😉Let’s get to it. Lots of #AltText #Comics #ComicSky #ComicBooks

This is the cover to Journey into Mystery issue 88, penciled by Jack Kirby and inked by Steve Ditko. The rainbow bridge straddles the gulf between Asgard and Earth, as Odin and the humans of earth are relying on Thor to save both. How dramatic! Of course the wizard is throwing a lightning bolt. Lightning bolt! Lightning bolt! Thor looks ready to handle the menace.

In fall 1954 the Comic Code was enacted to reign in EC comics. Maybe these comics, too.😅Gerda’s got game! The police find the body and everyone’s worried about the poor widow.😉That EXTREME TORTURE lived up to its billing.🐀1954 went hard! I hope you enjoyed this horror installment, see you next week🍻

Two hunters have found Warren‘s mangled corpse, and call in the police. They’re all horrified at the grizzly scene, and call in the poor widow, Gerda, to break the bad news. BOO HOO! Gerda forces out some crocodile tears, as the police get their identification of the rat-chewed, water-logged body. It’s a crying shame, right? Right? See you next week!

3322

You still with me?👀Man, this is going hard for 1954, right?😅Warren is left with no arms and legs but this curse is driving him to find water.🔥He crawls to the railing and rolls into the ocean. GLUB GLUB GLUB.🫧His burn abates as his heart stops.☠️Gerda‘s magic whisks his body to the car crash scene.🚗

Windbag Warren gets his wish. Water! With no arms and legs, he manages to drag his body to the railing, and thrust himself over the edge into the ocean. Sweet relief as the mounting pressure of the ocean collapses his lungs and stops his heart. That was quite a curse, Gerda! Tough, but fair. Her magic spell continues as his body transport to the car crash scene, rats and all. Two passerby’s find his rat-gnawed corpse next to the car wreck. Are we sure this was 1954? Jeez!

2280

Looks like old Gerda is a witch!🧙Hoo boy, did Warren pick the wrong lady to abuse! Demons chain Warren to the floor as Gerda brands him with a cursed 3rd eye. The pain can only be quenched with water!👁️🔥And the rats enter the chat.🐀And chew off his arms and legs!🤢I did say EXTREME TORTURE, didn’t I?😉

Gerda’s revenge! After years of abuse at the hands of Warren, Gerda finally turns the tables. She has her demon minions chain him to the floor, as she tells him how it’s actually going to go. Your bad guy exposition was wasted, sorry Warren. She brands him in the middle of his forehead with a cursed third eye that is doomed to feel pain until you quench it with water. And then, aw rats! No, really, rats. Rats come in and gnaw off his hands and feet, for some pretty crazy torture for 1954.

2200

Warren sprints for his lovely midnight cruise, free of his poor wife.🚢He goes to his cabin and lays down to sleep the deep sleep of the guilt-free evil. But someone’s gonna have some night terrors. WAKEY WAKEY!⏰ Gerda sachays into the room with a monster cohort. Oh, you’re gonna get yours, Warren!🍽️

Warren is sprinting to make it to the ship on time, and just gets on board before they set sale. All aboard! He goes to his cabin and lays down to sleep, unburdened by guilt. Well, he’s about to be burdened by something else! Gerda strolls into the room with monsters that drag a shocked Warren out of his bed. Oooh, this comeuppance is gonna be nasty!

2180

While they’re in the car on a hairpin turn, Gerda enacts HER plan. HYPNOSIS!😵‍💫👀Next thing, Warren comes to in a puddle of water next to a firey wreck. The smug bastard does a happy dance when he thinks Gerda is dead or burning in the wreck. He sneaks into the back of a truck to get to the cruise.

The reader has the view of someone in the backseat as Warren and Gerda drive away, as he enacts his murderous plan. But Gerda has other ideas! And some powers, it seems. She hypnotizes Warren, and while we see the car crash, we only see Warren waking up in a puddle next to the crash. He clearly thinks she’s either dead or dying, so he flees the scene. Nearby there is a truck with a flat tire, and he quietly sneaks into the back of it, realizing it’s heading into town towards the docks. He thinks he got away with it all, let’s see if it’s true.

2180

Bad guy exposition time!🥱Why do evil windbags always give up their plans to the victim? Lucky for the victim I guess.🗣️🙄Warren ties up Gerda and tells her that he’s going to get on a cruise ship as an alibi and she’s going to die in a car “crash.” Now I’m kinda looking forward to the EXTREME TORTURE🍿

Warren stands menacingly over Gerda as she lies prone on the ground. Warren goes full bad guy and decides to go on a long exposition about his plan. He explains that he’s going to be on a cruise at midnight, and he’s going to put her in a car and crash it, but change the clock, so it looks like she crashed while he was on the midnight cruise. I think we all want to see this guy get it now.

2190

Enter the Cairo family. Warren is a feared older man with a bad temper and a drinking and gambling problem. Sounds like a real peach! He decides to knock his wife out of her wheelchair to the floor in a fit of rage.😡 Yep, he’s a bastard…let’s get to that EXTREME TORTURE!

Warren is trying to steal his wife’s cats eye ring to feed one of his many addictions. He is being nasty and calling her names and she is desperately pleading for him to stop and calling him names right back. Then he decides to hit her. Unlikable character activated! Narrative arc, do your dirty work.

2200

And here’s the…end to Rumpelstiltskin? Damn! I don’t recall that ending.😅That panel with the knife!🔪Do you remember Rumpelstiltskin skinning the king at the end of your children’s book? I seem to have completely blocked that part out.😳Last of the pre-Code horror comics! Now on to EXTREME TORTURE!

The king is yammering in Rumpelstiltskin‘s ear, and Stilty is rubbing his head. You might wanna back off there, king, he’s talking a lot about soft skin and looking at that knife. What a look at that knife, yikes! Then Rumpelstiltskin goes and brags to his buds in the forest, he’s found the softest skin around! The skin of a king! Jeez…

4200

Let’s start with something nice and easy! Rumplestiltskin, a favorite childhood story.❤️Spin that hair into some gold, you goofy little monster!💇‍♀️🧵🧌Not EXTREME TORTURE, right?👀Right?👁️…

This is the first page to Rumpelstiltskin by Steve Ditko, and I suspect written by him, too. The true attribution is lost to time, but the writing seems like his to me. We have Rumpelstiltskin meeting a young woman with a wish. She starts to make a deal, but she’s not gonna like it.

In the fall of ‘54 the Comic Code was created so that the govt wouldn’t shut down comics. This issue probably contributed to the downfall😅Holy moly Steve Ditko was one sick puppy!🕸️🪓This was made a Key Issue because of EXTREME TORTURE🐀Not kidding😬Lots of #AltText #Comics #ComicSky #ComicBooks #Horror

This the cover to Weird Tales of Suspense and Horror - The Thing number 14, drawn by Steve Ditko. The concept of this comic was horror stories told by a creature called The Thing. Man, they went really hard in horror comics in the 50s. Well, until the Code. Demonic monsters fly around the cover, tearing at a poor woman. She is left broken on the ground as an extreme close-up of the demonic creature stares at the viewer. This was the last of the pre-Code horror comics, and boy did it go hard.

Harvey, you a freak, dude!😜The alien has a head like an ostrich egg and you’re ready to jump through that plexiglass?🥚This page is the 1st with Marvel characters in the series. They ran out of movie, but Kirby wanted to go on so they gave it more Marvel. Rigellian Hottie!🍳I hope you enjoyed the art🍻

A female Rigellian sits up from a high tech chamber. A tiny wisp of Kirby Krackle floats out behind her. Harvey thinks she’s a hottie boom bottie. One of the other scientists reminds him that she is a lethal alien. Harvey is one weird dude…

Psst!✋Hey, you!👋🏼Yeah, you!🫵🏻Wanna see something cool? How about some Jack Kirby original art!🤩This page is from a passion product of his, 2001: A Space Odyssey. It started as a simple movie adaptation, but then turned into something more Marvel. Lots of #AltText #Comics #ComicSky #ComicArt #JackKirby

This is an original art page from 2001 A Space Odyssey, drawn by Jack Kirby and Mike Royer, and written by Jack Kirby. A trio of scientists, led by Harvey Norton, sit behind protective glass, as they watch an alien held in a high tech room. She sits up to reveal she’s a Rigellian, a Marvel alien race. Harvey…has some impure thoughts. Kinda pervy, dude. “She” is an alien with an egg shaped head…

Dreamboat Thor!😻SWOON!😻They both started and ended the story with Thor Thirst. And the Thunder God earned it, he had one heck of a studly adventure…thanks to his trusty hammer! MJOLNIR🔨⚡️😍Thanks for checking out my Thorsday post this week, I hope you enjoyed. See you next week!🍻

Jane Foster dreams about her dreamy dreamboat, Thor. SIGH! Isn’t he dreamy?

Jane both started and ended the story thirsting over Thor. She wants him bad! That’s a hell of a thing to be jealous of yourself, right Dr. Blake?

1282

Editors note: Tapping Mjolnir twice on the ground opens up a world of Norse Whoopass from Daddy Dearest!⛈️Time for pain, comrades!🤕🔨Thor calls down some godly destruction, destroying the communist base. Better dead than red, they used to say!😅This issue was all Mjolnir, baby. TAP!🔨TAP!🔨KRAKKA-THOOM!⚡️

After pulling his 98 pound weakling trick, Thor surprises his communist captors. A couple quick taps of his hammer on the ground, a plea to Odin, and bye-bye communist base. A wild storm forms, and blows away all the walls, and the Communists. The day is saved, the scientists are freed, and Thor is victorious. THORSDAY! HUZZAH!

3283

Clever Thor!🧐A weakness is a strength. And now every 98 pound weakling on a beach getting sand kicked in their face is going to start praying to Odin. Give me the beef, Allfather!🍔Thor finds the weakness of the electronically treated chains, and then you know what happens…🔨⚡️😵! Gird yourselves, Reds!

You can still see the silhouette of Thor that was wrapped in the chains, but he’s relinquished his hammer and turned into Dr. Blake, 98 pound weakling, in order to slip out of the chains. But he won’t be weak for long, because he’s touching that hammer and feeling that old beefy thunder again. Time to put the hammer down!

5181

See, finesse! Thor doesn’t have to bash the wall down, he can do a super pirouette until the sound waves destroy everything around him. Now, that’s some sweet Thunder God style right there! A god and his hammer.🔨❤️

Thor needs to escape from a communist prison, and he does it with style. He spins like a top until the sound waves from his motion explode the prison walls. Thor shall be free!

1181

Moral of the story: Don’t rub your hammer or you might go blind! 🔨 👋🏼Thor used to do a lot more with his hammer back in the day, rather than just knocking baddies into orbit or turning stuff into dust. Mjolnir’s got some finesse, lest we forget. Now back to that magic hammer…😻

Thor is rubbing that hammer hard! He rubs and rubs until it shoots sparks and blinds his enemies. Wait, that all sounded wrong.

2193

Thor investigates defecting scientists for the feds. He offers to sneak in as Dr Blake. Mistake…the Reds use HYPNO-GAS!💨😵‍💫The Reds steal him to the Russian dungeon. It’s Thor time, but the Reds threaten the innocent scientists, so Thor has to get clever. Luckily, he has Mjolnir!😍🔨😍Stop…HAMMER TIME!

This is the chapter splash for “Prisoner of the Reds!” plotted by Stan Lee, but written by Larry Lieber, drawn by Jack Kirby, and inked by Dick Ayers. Thor is a prisoner of communists! The Reds have him wrapped in electronically treated chains, which were clearly unbreakable in the 1960s. Think silver age adamantium, heh. Thor is wrapped on a platform as the communist commander gives his dastardly commands, but I see you down on the floor there, my Uru friend. Chekov’s gun might be on the wall, but when the hammer’s on the floor, it’s time to get down. Let’s get at it.

1171

Happy #Thorsday everyone! REDS!😱After the Nazis they tried Red Scare stories but Commies don’t have the same evil panache. The Marvel Universe of Baddies is almost here tho, so less REDS, more Loki! This week is a love story about a god and his hammer.🔨❤️Lots of #AltText #Comics #ComicSky #ComicBooks

This is the cover for Journey into Mystery number 87 by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers. Thor has been captured by communists! He stands wrapped in electronically treated chains. Electronically treated! You couldn’t break out of that in the 1960s, no way! Will Thor find his way out? Carry on, dear reader.

That 2nd panel needs some onomatopoeia. SHLUCKT! Blue Bolt harpoons the eye-monster and saves Greenie.👁️🔱 But someone gets pissy when science beats her magic. POOF!💨She’s gone and already planning to fight another day. I hope you enjoyed the early Kirby spotlight this week, and see you next week!🍻

Blue Bolt makes quick work of the eye-monster with a really sharp harpoon. SPLORTCH! He drags the Green Sorceress from the maw of death. She isn’t so appreciative, and is even pissy about science beating her magic. Poof! She takes her ball and goes home, plotting to beat him next time.

3271

Landmines are bad!🤬Green Sorceress drives over her own landmine while retreating, and explodes her car, killing her general.💥Tsk-tsk!👆🏼Blue Bolt decides to save the baddie from herself when a nearby eye-monster notices the explosion and comes in for dinner.👁️🍴Kirby monster! This page is so Kirby!😍

Green Sorceress’s mechanical motorcycle explodes on one of her own landmines. Serves you right, lady! As she crawls from the wreckage and falls unconscious, Blue Bolt takes notice when an eye-monster hoves into view. Blue is gonna make himself a monster kabob!

2311

Glorious battle! Blue Bolt and his guys lay into Greenie’s goons. POW! Isn’t that a beauty of a panel? The Green Sorceress escapes in a Kirby car. This page has a lot of great Kirby stuff on it. Can you tell that I’m a fan? 😉

Green and Blue meet up, but they don’t make purple. The two monochromatic teams come together to do battle, and Blue comes out on top. Greenie tries to flee in a great Kirby machine, but I’m willing to bet they don’t get too far. Blue Bolt is on their trail!

3181

Blue Bolt beats the bawdy baddie and continues searching for his enemy. Eureka, he finds their base! He calls in his Blue Bolt crew, and battle is imminent. You could feel the Kirby energy on this page with the great forms and the wonderful visual storytelling.

Blue Bolt battles the tree monster and wins. He stands over its beaten and battered form, and then quickly moves on to the Green Sorceress’s base. He calls in one of his units to go get them. Get ‘em, boys!

1201

Is the Green Sorceress having her Enchantress moment? Nah, it’s just a pervy ultra-dimensional tree. Keep up!😆This is where Kirby‘s wild imagination came into play, with his monsters and great baddie subterfuge. He might have only been a prince then, but you could see where he was going to be king!

Blue Bolt thinks he finds his nemesis, but it’s a trap! The Green Sorceress seems to be beckoning to him to put aside their differences and maybe have a little private time. Blue Bolt seems to be OK with that idea, because he walks right over. But it’s a pervy interdimensional tree that reads his mind and tries to draw him into a trap. Fiendish foliage! Instead of a romantic tryst he has to battle his way out of its deadly grasp.

2201

Blue steps through the portal into a Kirby dimension! Abstract trees, red skies, and see-through skin, oh my! Kansas, this ain’t.🌈Blue finds the rest of Greenie’s army…dead! Their skeletons litter the ground, still wearing their helmets.☠️This is where Kirby earned the story credit, imo. What a page!

Blue Bolt steps into a Kirby abstract wonderland! Multicolor alien trees and crazy organic shapes greet Blue Bolt as he takes the fight to the baddies. But there’s a problem…the baddies are dead! Oh, and Blue Bolt can see through his skin, so we’ve got that issue, too. This is the page where Kirby blew Simon away, imo. These pages would look cool coming out today, and back then, it blew everyone’s minds. This style got him some pretty good assignments.

4191

There’s only one way to solve this problem…Open another portal to the 4th dimension and have Blue fight their whole army! DUH! And did you notice anything? No? Kirby Krackle origin page! That tasty last panel is a direct foreshadowing of Kirby‘s working style from decades later. MARVELICIOUS! 😋🍽️

Blue Bolt battles the invaders! He runs out from the fort to draw the enemy troops in position for his soldiers to fire their artillery. BOOM! They successfully repel the invaders, but more are going to be on the way. The leader has designed a dimensional portal, and convinces BB to go battle them on their home turf until his troops are able to follow. Sounds a little Suicide Squad to me. The portal that opens looks like something that Kirby drew in the 60s or 70s, with his organic shapes and Kirby Krackle. He really came out of the gates galloping.

1210

Blue Bolt enters the chat! Greenie has arrived, and the bodies hit the floor.☠️ Before BB can do anything other than speechify, the Green Sorceress and her soldiers disappear into the floor.🫠 STYLE POINTS! The art gets wilder by the panel, imo. You can almost feel the heat from Kirby’s imagination.🔥✋

Page 3 starts with a summons for Blue Bolt, but it has to wait for an inspection of the base’s defenses. Welp, that inspection didn’t go very well, because when he arrives, he finds everyone dead! Before Blue Bolt even has a chance to question what happened, he watches the green sorceress disappear into the floor with a warning about more troops coming. That escalated fast!

1211

Begone, you disgust me?😪HARSH! He was just minioning for you. Greenie finds her spell, and the plan comes together…with a Kirby Machine! Even in 1940 his 🧠 was churning out wild tech in his inimitable style. Panel 2 is so Kirby it has his DNA, imo. His future style peeks out all over this story.🫣

This is the second page of the story, and the Green Sorceress is pouring over her new tome, looking for the spell she needs. EUREKA! And she finds it. A magical machine that she can use to walk between dimensions to fulfill her dreams of conquest of the fourth dimension. I mean, who doesn’t have that dream?!

3191

There it is!😍Simon and Kirby! This is the pairing that sent golden age comics soaring and that every other artist of the time tried to emulate. Kirby on pencils, Simon on inks, and me on eyeballs.👀Enter Unholy One!🧌We take Kirby storytelling for granted, but his work blew everyone away back then.🤯

This is page one of the Blue Bolt story both drawn and written by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. For the title panel, Blue Bolt is shooting his blaster at a tree monster, with an unconscious Green Sorcereress tucked under his arm. PEW! PEW! It must be subterfuge, though, because we start out with her showing she’s the villain of the story. She summons her unholy minion who has found a magic tome for her evil plans. More fell sorcery! I sure hope Blue Bolt is up to the challenge…

Jason Helford @writingguy.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

Wanna see something cool? This is the first credited Simon and Kirby story! Jack started on issue 2 when Simon noticed this Kirby kid on a comic strip and brought him in. By issue 5, he had to get a billing.😁They started Cap two months later. Lots of #AltText #Comics #ComicSky #ComicBooks #JackKirby

This is the cover to Blue Bolt number 5 drawn by Will Rowland. Blue Bolt stands at the ready, a harpoon aimed at a tentacled monster writhing up his leg. Another man is already in its grasp, reaching out to our hero for help. Blue Bolt has you, dude, Simon and Kirby would have it no other way. If you ever wondered why Simon got top billing over Kirby, it’s because this is where they started working together and Simon created the character. I guess they didn’t change the dynamic going forward, until Kirby struck out on his own.

Good afternoon, Monarch! Lay waste to the week, and maybe a better one will arise from the ashes next week. Friday is upon us, hope you have a cool weekend planned. I might try to get to a baseball game this weekend.

Holocaust Apocalypse Spawn stares down Friday

Magnets and mirrors?! Tomorrow Man, you fiendish devil! Thor is almost taken out by a magnetized Hall of Mirrors. Death by Carnival! Let’s hope Heimdall was looking away just then. THUD! THUMP! DON’T TELL DAD!! 😅 Thanks for checking out my Thorsday post. See you next week for Issue 87.🍻

Thor find himself in a magnetized hall of mirrors, as Zarrko turns the power on and off, sending Thor smashing into the walls and floor. That’s going to be embarrassing back home in Asgard when Heimdall gives the message to Odin. Look away!

3281

Thor is flummoxed on how to travel into the future, so he summons daddy dearest, who refuses to call him by name. Daddy Issues! Odin turns Mjolnir into an Asgardian time machine with GPS so Thor can chase Zarrko. They do Future Battle, Thor blasts Zarrko out of the sky so hard he gets amnesia.🧠🔨Fin!

This is the chapter splash for part two “Flight to the Future!” drawn by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers, and written by Stan Lee and Larry Leber. Odin has been summoned, and shows up large and in charge, as he does. He calls Thor “god of thunder,” refusing to use his name. And you wonder why the kid has daddy issues? He asks Odin for the power to travel to the future to do battle. Granted! Go get the baddie, Thor!

3301

Thor takes his stint as a bomb test dummy!🧨The US military wants to test a cobalt bomb on Thor to see how it would affect a human. Hmmm, let’s look into my crystal ball…🔮👀…💥☠️! Thor shows up, but Zarrko has other ideas, and whisks the bomb off into the future!🚀Thor vows to get the bomb back. But how?

This is the chapter splash for “On the Trail of the Tomorrow Man!” drawn by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers, written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber. Thor is surrounded by a trio of Zarrko the Tomorrow Man’s robots. Methinks it’s Hammer Time! SPTANG!
