The line of Mighty Marvel Masterworks has (sadly?) come and gone but I did read this edition before it went away forever. This is a nice collection of silver age Thor stories which didn't really have any classic adventures other than Thor meeting Hercules for the first time but I loved the back up Tales of Asgard stories which features Thor with his Asgardian friends. Thor was always more fun in Asgard than on Earth (for me). His romance witth Jane Foster flounders in this collection and goes nowhere.
The art by Kirby is Kirby at his best and (sadly) the inker Vince Colletta at his (normal) worst. Comic fans hate Vince because he imposed HIS style on anyone he was penciling and often erased their art to make less work for him to ink. So he (very sadly) flattens a lot of the amazing pencils Kirby was drawing. But even with that handicap - Kirby's brilliance shines through.
Overall - a fun read but nothing memorable stands out.
