The Mighty Thor
#129, June 1966 [published 5 Apr 66]
“The Verdict of Zeus” - Script: Stan Lee; Art: Jack Kirby; Inking: Vince Colletta; Lettering: Art Simek
The interlude with the cabbie is amusing, and starts this tale off at a slower pace.
Page 4:
Nice full page spread of Olympus. In the caption for this page Stan seems to admit that music cannot be represented in comics in any form (
I agree
). It’s too bad later writers didn’t take this advice to heart.
Page 6:
Hercules confronts a titan who apparently escaped being eaten by Hercules’ grand-sire.
Page 7:
for the second time we have a succession of sound-effects-only panels.
It’s too bad the circumstances of this story do not permanently teach Hercules some Humility.
Tana Nile appears in a prologue to the next Thor epic.
A new bit of Asgardian culture comes our way via
“The Day of the Three Worlds”
and
“The Book of Enchanters”
. Oh well,
any plot device will do.
As Hercules seeks a champion I remember
a younger day, a penniless condition, a car that wouldn’t start, waiting for the bus in the freezing cold. As my glasses iced over, and my toes and fingers and ears froze and I knew I couldn’t go on
. . . anyway, this is what Hercules plight made me think of.
Tales of Asgard:
“The Hordes of Harokin” - Script: Stan Lee; Art: Jack Kirby; Inking: Vince Colletta; Lettering: Art Simek
We transition from one long continued story into the next (
again, midway through the story
) as we begin the tale of Harokin and the Warlock’s eye. We will have to look elsewhere for a place for the 2nd Thor annual to fit into the continuity of these tales.
Anarchy and Chaos are the natural state of the human race. Civilization is unnatural. It is a whim of circumstance. And Chaos must always ultimately triumph.
