Marvel Comics Group · Journey into Mystery #125 · February 1966 · $0.12 · 20 pages
Grade: null
Edited by Stan Lee.
Cover by Jack Kirby with lettering by Sam Rosen.
“When Meet the Immortals!” (16 pages), written by Stan Lee and drawn by Jack Kirby with inks by Vince Colletta — Thor encounters Hercules and the Greek gods for the first time, setting up a mythology-spanning conflict that would define both characters. The issue introduces Hercules as a rival whose strength matches Thor's own, creating tension between Norse and Greek divine power that Lee and Kirby milk for maximum drama. Kirby's gods have the monumental presence his cosmicwork demands, while Colletta's inks give the clash an appropriately mythic weight.
The first appearance of Hercules makes this essential for Marvel mythology collectors — his ongoing rivalry with Thor becomes a cornerstone of both characters' development through the Silver Age.
