After looking at hundreds of comic book covers, it becomes quickly apparent that not every cover is 100% original. Whether done intentionally or even underhandedly, there’s something about uncovering these “swipes” that adds a new element of fun to reading and collecting comics.<\/font><\/p>\n

It may seem strange but, the first comic titled Thor <\/em>was issue #126 (not #1!). You see, he first debuted in Journey Into Mystery <\/em>#83 and continued to be the main feature in that title until it was officially renamed Thor <\/em>in 1966. This book featured a battle with the Olympian demi-god, Hercules <\/strong>and has gone on to be homaged many times over the following years.<\/p>\n
