Thor #127 — F- (5.5)
Marvel Comics, April 1966
Silver Age · Superhero / Mythology · 36 pages · 12¢ cover price
Thor #127 is a key mid–Silver Age issue from Marvel’s Journey Into Mystery era, featuring a Jack Kirby cover with inks by Vince Colletta and a story steeped in Asgardian mythology. Written by Stan Lee with interior art by Kirby and Colletta, the issue centers on “The Hammer and the Holocaust!”, in which a weakened Thor returns to Asgard to confront Seidring, with the fate of the gods hanging in the balance.
Notably, this issue reintroduces Pluto, a character dating back to Red Raven Comics #1 (1940), while also featuring appearances by Odin, Hercules, Jane Foster, Balder, and Heimdall. The issue also includes a Tales of Asgard backup, “The Meaning of… Ragnarok”, expanding Marvel’s Norse cosmology and foreshadowing events that would echo throughout the Thor mythos. Period Marvel Bullpen Bulletins round out the issue.
A strong, story-rich Silver Age Thor issue with classic Kirby visuals and deep mythological stakes, appealing to Thor collectors and fans of early Marvel world-building.
Maj. Picto’s Grading Notes:
F- (5.5). A presentable mid-grade copy with moderate, even wear consistent with the grade. Displays well overall, with handling and age-related wear typical of mid-1960s Marvel comics.
