Item Description

_JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY_ was initially published by Atlas Comics, then by its successor, Marvel Comics. Originally a horror comics anthology, it changed to giant-monster and science fiction stories in the late 1950s. Beginning with issue #83, though, in 1963, it became the home of the "The Mighty Thor", created by writers Stan Lee and Larry Lieber and artist Jack Kirby, and inspired by the mythological Norse Thunder God.

Here's a JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY from the period before before the title changed to 'The MIGHTY THOR! In the 18-page lead story, "At the Mercy of Loki, Prince of Evil!", THOR is called to the aid of DOCTOR STRANGE, and as Dr. Blake saves his life after a crippling mystic attack. LOKI akes advantage of a misunderstanding between THOR and ODIN to come to Earth and kidnap Jane Foster. THOR finds LOKI and defeats him, while a grateful DOCTOR STRANGE saves Jane.

Stan Lee scripts . . Jack Kirby brings it to life!

Kirby also illustrates another TALES OF ASGARD installment, "Trapped by the Trolls!", in which the king of the dwarfs attempts to sell an incognito THOR to the trolls as a slave, and THOR frees all of their captives and destroys their mine.

This copy has been handled and enjoyed repeatedly, but is still in very good reading shape. There are no ragged edges, but there is a light date stamp on the front cover, a small piece of cover missing at top left, a 1/8" split on the back cover, hand writing at the top of the title page, and typical toning for a 57-year old comic. The binding is healthy! All these factors contribute to a conservative grading of 3.5 VG1 , for which Overstreet suggests a price of $38 due to the early appearance of DOCTOR STRANGE and a cameo by three of The AVENGERS. We're going to make this issue a bit more affordable for THORists at just $23 . . with our always-L•O•W shipping of only $2!

And no extra shipping charge for additional purchases!
