Indexer Notes
Pages 1-3 and 17-20 surrounding a reprint of the first Thor story from Journey Into Mystery (Marvel, 1952 series) #83.
Page 16, panel 9: the editor modified the original panel, mostly with new text material. Note that in Journey Into Mystery #83, in this same panel, Thor was mistakenly spelled ‘Thorr.’
