After Mighty Thor began his run in Journey into Mystery as of #83......
...and before Norse mythology-related backup series like Tales of Asgard began, the one-shot shorts like this never-reprinted tale continued to fill the back of the book until the inventory was used up!
The second of two never-reprinted stories from Marvel's Journey into Mystery #85 (1962), it's the more imaginative and thoughtful tale.
The other one, "Off Limits" is HERE.
Don Heck penciled and inked it.
Stan Lee plotted it, but experts are not sure if he scripted it.
Lee usually signed the later shorts he scripted, but only Heck's signature is here.
Just about everything Lee didn't script at this point was handled by his brother Larry Lieber.
(Stan's
birth name is Stanley Leiber. He used "Stan Lee" on his comics work
because he wanted his real name on the Great American Novel he planned
to write.
When
he finally realized he would be forever known for his comics and not
any prose novel he might write, he legally changed his name to "Stan
Lee".)
