valeria_anedda's review against another edition
Esordio di Thor nell'universo Marvel, diversissimo da quello cinematografico. Qua abbiamo il Dottor Donald Blake, un uomo zoppo che trova il Mjolnir e si trasforma nel Dio del Tuono quando lo tiene in mano. Interessante la dualità Thor/Donald e peccato non averla sfruttata al cinema.

It's short. It's fine. Though, I didn't expect Thor to just be a human accidentally finding Mjolnir which gives him the power of Thor.

Thor!!! I was stupid excited when I realized that this issue of Journey Into Mystery was actually the first appearance of Thor in Silver Age Comics. Dr. Donald Blake accidentally becomes Thor after stumbling on a staff that becomes Thor's hammer. I definitely had a different perception of Thor's origins. While I didn't find this first appearance to be super appealing, I was excited to see him and learn more about how Stan Lee would create him as a Marvel character. One thing that I did notice about this issue was the obsession that Marvel has with aliens, but I think that has a lot to do with the different ages. I know that the Golden Age dealt a lot with mystics and supernatural while this was a time that was more based in science fiction. It's just incredibly interesting to see the constant invasion of aliens.
