KLASSIC KIRBY KOMIC KOVERS: JOURNEY Into MYSTERY #84...

Image copyright MARVEL COMICS

Quick - who's the nurse in the left of the picture?  JANE FOSTER you say?  No, JANE NELSON, which is what Nurse Jane was called in her first appearance, in JOURNEY Into MYSTERY #84. (It was amended to Foster in early reprints, but was restored to Nelson in more up-to-date re-presentations.)  The EXECUTIONER wasn't THOR's ASGARDIAN adversary of the same name, but rather only the lowly dictator of SAN DIABLO, a rather second-rate villain for the mighty thunder god it has to be said.  JACK KIRBY has made 'Goldilocks' a little bulkier on this cover than the previous one, but inside he's slightly more slender in form.

BABE Of The DAY - SYBIL DANNING...



Today's babe is requested by someone
named BASIL, who wanted to see a sultry
photo of SYBIL.  We aim to please, Basil, so
here she is.  The telephone line was a little bit
FAWLTY, but it sounded like he said he's
 married to her.  A very lucky man, eh?
