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?!

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.

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.

Iron Man #15

Happy #Thorsday everyone! Don pretends to invent a bio weapon so the commies abduct him via a hypno gas that comes out of a camera. Thor has fun rubbing his hammer and blinding reds while freeing American scientists.

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.

Daily 60s read. A giant robot grabs Carol as she is rifling through Mar-Vell's room, as a lure for Lawson. CM is being attacked by hostile aliens. He tricks the aliens into hitting the robot causing them to attack and eventually kill each other.
