Thor was created by [[Stan Lee]], [[Jack Kirby]], and [[Larry Lieber]].{{Sfn|Mills|2013|p=179}} After initially drafting the character, Lee gave the project to his brother Lieber to write the stories.{{Sfn|Howe|2012|p=41}} Kirby developed Thor's visual design,{{Sfn|Dalton|2011|p=115}} and he had an interest in ancient mythology that lent itself to the character's creation and design. ''[[Bulfinch's Mythology]]'' was used as a reference during Thor's creation.{{Sfn|Horton|Gray|2022|p=99}} As superhero comics became more popular, Marvel began replacing its previous comic book lines with superheroes.{{Sfn|Howe|2012|p=43}} Thor [[first appeared]] in ''[[Journey into Mystery]]'' #83 (1962).{{Sfn|Mills|2013|p=179}} Like other superheroes created at the time, Thor usurped a [[comic book anthology]] that had previously been dedicated to [[monster fiction]].{{Sfn|Howe|2012|p=40}} Thor arose from Lee's desire to create a superhero who was more powerful than [[Hulk]] or the [[Fantastic Four]].{{Sfn|Gilbert|2008|p=88}} Lee in 2002 described Thor's genesis early in the Marvel pantheon, following the creation of the Hulk (Lee, Stan; Mair, George (2002). ''Excelsior!: The Amazing Life of Stan Lee''):
[H]ow do you make someone stronger than the strongest person? It finally came to me: Don't make him human — make him a god. I decided readers were already pretty familiar with the Greek and Roman gods. It might be fun to delve into the old Norse legends... Besides, I pictured Norse gods looking like Vikings of old, with the flowing beards, horned helmets, and battle clubs. ...''Journey into Mystery'' needed a shot in the arm, so I picked Thor ... to headline the book. After writing an outline depicting the story and the characters I had in mind, I asked my brother, Larry, to write the script because I didn't have time. ...and it was only natural for me to assign the penciling to Jack Kirby...
The idea for adapting Thor as a superhero was first developed when Lee and Kirby heard of Marvel being discussed as "twentieth-century mythology".{{Sfn|Dalton|2011|p=115}} Thor was well-suited to be recreated as a superhero, as the mythological character already had an established supporting cast, superpowers, and sense of justice. At the time Thor was created, there were approximately 15 million [[Scandinavian Americans]], and the United States had a general cultural awareness of historical Scandinavian culture through ideas of [[Vikings]] and [[Leif Erikson]].{{Sfn|Arnold|2011}} A previous adaptation of Thor had first appeared in ''[[Venus (comic book)|Venus]]'' #11 (November 1950),<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.comics.org/issue/8540/|title=GCD :: Issue :: Venus #11|publisher=Comics.org|access-date=9 January 2025}}</ref> published by what is now Marvel Comics.{{Sfn|Gilbert|2008|p=39}} Kirby had previously adapted Thor for [[DC Comics]] in ''[[Adventure Comics]]'' #75 (1942), ''[[Boy Commandos]]'' #7 (1944), ''[[Tales of the Unexpected (comics)|Tales of the Unexpected]]'' #16 (1957).{{Sfn|Middleton|2002|p=13}}
Shortly after Thor premiered, Lieber moved on to other projects, and Thor was given to other writers.{{Sfn|Howe|2012|p=45}} Various artists worked on Thor in his first issues, including [[Don Heck]] and [[Joe Sinnott]].{{Sfn|Peñalosa|1997|p=4}} Lee soon took over writing duties for several Marvel superhero titles, as the writers did not meet his expectations,{{Sfn|Howe|2012|p=45}} and he became the writer for Thor beginning in ''Journey into Mystery'' #97 (1963). Kirby became the artist shortly afterward, beginning in ''Journey into Mystery'' #101 (1964).{{Sfn|Dalton|2011|p=116}}

Lee created a second series that centered on Norse mythology, "Tales of Asgard".{{Sfn|Gilbert|2008|p=95}} First appearing in ''Journey into Mystery'' #97 (1963), this series focused on Thor's mythological adventures and greatly expanded his roster of supporting characters, including [[Sif (character)|Sif]], [[Balder the Brave]], and the [[Warriors Three]].{{Sfn|Peñalosa|1997|p=4}} ''Journey into Mystery'' was eventually renamed to ''[[Thor (comic book)|Thor]]'', beginning with ''Thor'' #126 (1966).{{Sfn|Peñalosa|1997|p=5}} This marked a significant shift in Thor's characterization: the primary setting was moved from Earth to Asgard, Thor's love interest [[Jane Foster]] was written out of the story in favor of Sif, and [[Hercules (Marvel Comics)|Hercules]] became a major character.{{Sfn|Morrow|2002|p=2}} "Tales of Asgard" continued until ''Thor'' #145 (1967).{{Sfn|Peñalosa|1997|p=6}} The character's backstory was changed in ''Thor'' #159 (1968), when it was revealed that Thor was the actual mythological Thor rather than a mortal who obtained Thor's power and that his secret identity of Donald Blake was a fabrication created by Odin to teach him humility.{{Sfn|Horton|Gray|2022|p=90}} As Kirby's work on ''Thor'' came to an end, the setting shifted back to Earth and Jane Foster was reintroduced.{{Sfn|Morrow|2002|p=2}}
