Instead of just a run-of-the-mill superhero for her to sketch, I thought I might ask her to sketch the creature from Journey Into Mystery #72. Why?  Well, that was the issue that made me stop 'reading' comics, and start to read AND collect comic books!  So, I was very pleased when the above sketch came in via email to me.

I continued on collecting Journey Into Mystery comics even after it started featuring The Mighty Thor!  Soon after, the title was altered to read "Journey Into Mystery with The Mighty Thor" and with issue #126 it was changed to just "The Mighty Thor".  Of course with a name like Hamersky... how could I help but enjoy this title with the Thor?  My surname is Polish, as it was Hamerski from Hamer-ski from the village of Hamer-mlyn.  The Vikings, (who believed in the Norse Gods), brought the name 'Hamer' to the village centuries ago.  Yes, I did research my genealogy a few decades ago... I do more than just read and blog on comics, LOL! If you are a Facebook member and want to join my Facebook Network, feel free to send a 'friend request' to 'Michael D Hamersky'.
