Notes: Jack Kirby wasn't the only one who used Thor before 1962. In this 1951 story
there is a murderer who kills paople with his hammer and thinks he is Thor,
proving the stereotype of the bearded Norwegian Thor was more common
that the pure Kirbyites think. - Ger A.
Features a deranged hammer-wielding killer named Thorson, who thinks he is Thor, the Norse God of Thunder. Note in splash makes reference to "the famous 'Black Daisy' murder case in 1947," an allusion to the much-publicized mutilation-murder of Elizabeth Short (1924-1947), the so-called "Black Dahlia". - Tom Lammers
