And something vaguely recognizable as the old Blake/Thor relationship was seen in one of the post-series Incredible Hulk TV movies. He appeared in one or two paperback novelizations of The Avengers. He was one of the stars of the half-hour Marvel Super Heroes animated series, along with Captain America and The Sub-Mariner, which was syndicated from 1966-68 but considering the esteem in which those cartoons are held, that's no great honor. When, in 1966, the original title disappeared altogether, and its official name became The Mighty Thor, the event was scarcely even noticed. In the beginning, the sci-fi/monster stories continued to appear in the back pages of Journey into Mystery.
