Saw the above book on eBay recently and bought it (arrived today), mainly because I love the cover of Journey Into Mystery #83. The book is around an inch smaller than the usual Marvel Masterworks volumes, but the internal pages are still readable without straining my eyesight and, as I say, it's primarily the cover I wanted it for just so I could enjoy looking at it.
Having said that, it's not quite right, is it? Thor's left arm appears to be growing out the side of his torso, and his hands aren't the best ones Kirby's ever drawn. Add to that the fact that the handle of Thor's hammer is curved and that it doesn't look physically possible to swing it around himself in the way it's depicted (a continuous arc), I'd say it's hardly Kirby at his best.
But, boy - it sure has visual impact, doesn't it?!
