Thor is transformed into a frog in the previous issue and spends this entire issue as an amphibian

In Thor #365, he lifts Mjolnir and becomes a frog version of Thor

1st appearance of Puddlegulp, Simon Walterson, a frog who later wields a hammer named Frogjolnir as Throg

⚠ Misconception: sources cite this as the first appearance of Throg. Thor is transformed into a frog in #363 and wields a sliver of Mjolnir as a frog version of Thor in #365. Simon Walterson does not appear as 'Throg' until Lockjaw and the Pet Avengers #1 (2009)
