JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #109 (1964)

Thor takes on the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.

(Why does it look like Quicksilver is giving the “Heil Hitler” hand sign?). On their way to the battle, Scarlet Witch proves herself to be a bit of a snob. Can’t say I disagree, though. Mastermind and Toad are pretty gross people.

Thor vs. Magneto.  

It’s not a bad comic, but there’s something really odd parts to the plot points.  First, Thor’s hammer is apparently susceptible to magnetism, because Magneto separates Thor from it (he can’t lift it, but he can create a magnetic forcefield around it).

This makes Thor revert to his Donald Blake form.  And despite the fact that he just held his own against Thor (and has taken on the entire X-Men), Magneto can’t seem to defeat Don.

Hm.
