The origin pages above were taken from the reprint of them in THOR #158. The splash page and the lettering on the final panel of the last page had to be recreated, and it wasn't done too well.

Marvel's art/photostat/film negative archiving was always hit-or-miss, so lots of Silver Age material had to be re-created thru various methods, some of which were more effective than others.
