Thor was created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Larry Lieber.Template:Sfn After initially drafting the character, Lee gave the project to his brother Lieber to write the stories.Template:Sfn Kirby developed Thor's visual design,Template:Sfn 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.Template:Sfn As superhero comics became more popular, Marvel began replacing its previous comic book lines with superheroes.Template:Sfn Thor first appeared in Journey into Mystery #83 (1962).Template:Sfn Like other superheroes created at the time, Thor usurped a comic book anthology that had previously been dedicated to monster fiction.Template:Sfn Thor arose from Lee's desire to create a superhero who was more powerful than Hulk or the Fantastic Four.Template:Sfn 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".Template:Sfn 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.Template:Sfn A previous adaptation of Thor had first appeared in Venus #11 (November 1950),[1] published by what is now Marvel Comics.Template:Sfn Kirby had previously adapted Thor for DC Comics in Adventure Comics #75 (1942), Boy Commandos #7 (1944), Tales of the Unexpected #16 (1957).Template:Sfn

Shortly after Thor premiered, Lieber moved on to other projects, and Thor was given to other writers.Template:Sfn Various artists worked on Thor in his first issues, including Don Heck and Joe Sinnott.Template:Sfn Lee soon took over writing duties for several Marvel superhero titles, as the writers did not meet his expectations,Template:Sfn 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).Template:Sfn

When Marvel's distributor allowed them more monthly releases, The Avengers was developed as a new comic book series.Template:Sfn Thor was included as an inaugural member of the titular superhero team.Template:Sfn By 1965, the difficulty of maintaining continuity between The Avengers and the titles of the individual characters prompted Lee to write the original cast out of The Avengers, including Thor.Template:Sfn

Lee created a second series that centered on Norse mythology, "Tales of Asgard".Template:Sfn 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, Balder the Brave, and the Warriors Three.Template:Sfn Journey into Mystery was eventually renamed to Thor, beginning with Thor #126 (1966).Template:Sfn 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 became a major character.Template:Sfn "Tales of Asgard" continued until Thor #145 (1967).Template:Sfn 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.Template:Sfn As Kirby's work on Thor came to an end, the setting shifted back to Earth and Jane Foster was reintroduced.Template:Sfn
