Joey, good to see you! Hope you’re doing well. i’m doing OK, just took an extended social media break. I plan on coming back at some point (and probably should’ve made a post like this sometime earlier just to make sure everyone knew I was cool). It’s a great community of solid people here 😁👍🏼

Hello, everyone! Unfortunately, Loki is keeping me from my collection for the next couple weeks, so I’m not going to be able to do my spotlights or #Thorsday posts until then. I’ll pop in for chats and reposts, though. But I’ll come back in a couple weeks with a doozy! 🍺😁🔨⚡️
Loki has Thor’s hammer in his thrall in this What If cover. Whatever will Thor do?!

😆😆😆 They really had a lot of fun with comics in the 60s, that I think they have forgotten nowadays. Not saying they’re not fun, but just don’t have that same kitschy flare.

For me, that’s a lot of the fun of the game. I used to like watching Shaq dominate.

Fantastic Four 90 (Sept 1969) cover by Jack Kirby/Joe Sinnott. This is the start of Kirby’s last multi-issue epic during his FF run (it was single issue stories afterward) and it’s a good one as The Thing is kidnapped by a Skrull and sold as a slave. And only one splash this issue, the opening page.
A Skrull disguised as Reed Richards uses some type of gas to subdue the Thing.

Oh, no! I love Shell-head, I guess I’ll have to find another superhero to follow! I love how characters and teams were constantly “dying” in the 60s. Final battle, this is the end, no more!😱

Truth! Doesn’t that look weird? They really gave him a goonish run in this. But I guess he’s not the god of running for a reason.

So true! College to NBA, basketball has been getting my attention this year. I like the three-point game, but I like the inside game more. I’m a 90s basketball kid.

Superman was knocked straight out of the satellite into the ocean, but in typical Superman style, he bounces back with panache. Dolphins! He burst out of the ocean in a pod of dolphins, totally ready for summer. Sorry, Lantern and Hawk, you guys are stuck on space duty, no beach for you!

Daily 60s read. Unicorn is dying but Red Ghost makes him believe his injection will keep him alive. Forcing him to steal Stark's cosmic ray emitter so he can get his power back and create a super simian army. His originals were put down by the Soviets after he defected.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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?

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.
