IT'S A 'KOCK-UP', BUT NOT ONE OF KIRBY'S...

See the above tier from page 10 of the main tale in JOURNEY Into MYSTERY #83?  Of course you do, but take note of what that STONE MAN From SATURN (I think his name is Nigel) is saying in the last panel.  "Strange - - a moment ago the sky was clear!  Yet now there is a storm brewing!"  Actually, as you can see in the tier below from page 8, moments before, THOR had been trying out the powers of his hammer and had thunder, lightning and a tornado on the go, so how did they miss that?  (Eh, what did you say?  They were in their spaceship listening to The ARCHERS on the radio?  Okay, I'll buy that.)  Seriously though, LARRY LIEBER (who dialogued the tale) slipped up there, but we'll forgive him because it's such a classic origin story.  So JACK's off the hook this time, but there's always tomorrow.
