The past two issues focused on Loki and his early days. We are informed more Loki stories are coming, but this tale is an interlude.

We meet Haakun the Hunter and the goddess Iduna. Iduna is notably wearing a red hood, perhaps suitable for riding.

We continue with the anniversary issue of Journey Into Mystery. There is the main Thor tale, then a prose story, a sci/fi tale, and this, a story from Thor’s childhood. We get an extra subtitle for the feature: “Tales of Asgard, Home of the Mighty Norse Gods!: The Boyhood of Thor”.

Up until this point, the series had focused on the earliest days of creation, with Odin as the main star, prior to the birth of Thor. We jump forward in time now to Thor’s childhood.
