Thor #165 - Jack Kirby art & cover + 1st Him

Jack Kirby
Thor v1 #165, 1969 - Emerging from an oversized cocoon, a powerful being called Him claims Lady Sif for his mate. While he travels across the cosmos with his reluctant companion, Thor and Balder are in hot pursuit. Jack Kirby prominently displays the new character on a cover layout that fills all available space. Large panels and full page splashes abound in the interiors, typical of the grandeur of Kirby's artwork on this series. Him makes his presence known with a full facial portrait on page 8. Although the character first appears in two panels of >Fantastic Four #67, this issue marks his first full appearance. He later adopts the name Adam Warlock in >Marvel Premiere #1. This is 41 of 54 Thor issues by Kirby. /// key 1st full appearance, 1st cover Him
