Every Thor Run - Reading Order & Starting Points

The God of Thunder has a unique place among Marvel's heroes. For the first years of stories, he follows the standard model of the mild-mannered civilian with a super-powered alter ego, but as the character evolved, writers focused on expanding not the life and relationships of Doctor Donald Blake, but that of the Mighty Thor. Thor was given a childhood, friends, enemies, all of which had nothing to do with his alter ego. Eventually, Marvel made the inevitable change. Thor was the real identity, Blake was fictional. For the following decades, writers have created other human guises for the hero, but they have all proven temporary.
