I can certainly get the tonality of the color on the cover to change by messing with the Histogram in Photoshop cutting the low points on both ends. 

It is not a Photoshop effect.......

The two issues have really different colors (blue vs purple)

What are the keys in a Thor set? (I always hear the advice to get the keys first)

For the Journey run, I'd venture #s 83,85 (first Loki),89 (classic cover),97 (origin Odin; first Tales of Asgard),103 (first Enchantress and Executioner),112 (Thor meets Hulk), and 119 (first Warriors Three) at least.  Maybe 115 for the origin of Loki and 102 for the first Sif.

All must haves, but there is one other (minor key) - JIM #114 - 1st Absorbing Man! A personal favorite and, in my opinion, a classic cover!

For Thor, I'd say 126, maybe movie ties (Ego, Hela), the Origin of The Inhumans ran as a back-up after Tales of Asgaard, and then, most importantly, there's my favorite Thor story! The Mangog arc runs from 154 to 157. Those who would call themselves Thor fans must at least read it, if not own it!

Though it's perhaps not a "key" per se, I've always had a soft spot for #109 (Thor vs. Magneto).

Great comics, though I wonder what was going on behind the scenes at Marvel when Thor 158 went to press. The Marie Severin penciled cover looks like a stock photo without even a hint or blurb of what might be awaiting potential readers inside the issue. Maybe Kirby was way behind schedule (again) and Stan Lee told Marie to "make a cover, any cover, just make sure it has Thor on it!"

No love for Cobra (98) and Mr Hyde (99)?

One of my favorite Thor covers. Hela is awesome, as always, and the looming maniacal visage of Loki seals the deal!

With a cover like this,  who wouldn't want to read this comic?

Best Kirby Hela cover imo!

Superb run of books! Such a majestic, epic story; I've been thinking about upgrading my copies.

My Thor 126 that I regret having sold a few years back. I sold it to a friend ( that has kept it to this day )
