Stan Lee,
Larry Lieber, and Jack Kirby played with the Thor myth from Medieval
Scandanavia to create a modern comic book hero. He debuted in Journey Into
Mystery #83. This version differed from an earlier 1951 comic version. Lee
wanted a hero that was stronger than a normal person and wondered how to do it.
He toyed with the Grecko-Roman and Norse gods before settling on Thor. Journey
Into Mystery was retitled The Mighty Thor in 1966. Since his recreation, Thor
has appeared in a number of comic books, cartoons, made a guest appearance on
The Incredible Hulk starring Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno, and has his own
feature film series starring Chris Helmsworth and Anthony Hopkins.
