Journey into Mystery began in 1952, published under the Atlas Comics label. It's contents were a mixed bag of monster and fantasy stories. The monsters and fantasy stories continued when Marvel put it's name on the series in 1961's issue #69. But Journey into Mystery's place in comics history would be assured when, a little over a year later Marvel introduced The Mighty Thor in issue #83. This Norse god and future Avenger would prove so popular that Journey would change it's name to Thor with issue #126. Jack Kirby contributed many of the later stories in this run, as well as working with Stan Lee to create Thor. Kirby was the perfect choice to illustrate Thor's fantastic world of gods, monsters, and awe-inspiring sights such as Asgard, home of the Norse gods, and the Rainbow Bridge that spans the space between Asgard and Earth. In the decades that followed, The God of Thunder has saved the world more times than can be counted and introduced readers to such legendary characters as Loki (Thor's Evil brother), The Asorbing Man, Mr. Hyde, The Cobra, The Gray Gargoyle and The Enchantress, Ragnarok, The Living Planet, The High Evolutionary, Recorder Ego, The Destroyer and Hercules. He's been a huge force in the Marvel Universe. Director Kenneth Branagh leads a cast that includes Chris Hemsworth, Tom Hiddleston and Natalie Portman in the Thor's big-budget, silver screen debut, in movie theaters on May 6, 2011. The issues that followed would be remembered as Marvel classics. Here is an opportunity to own an affordable, super investment grade copy of these early Marvel "classics", with only the most minor of imperfections allowable in this high grade comic.Item Description Stuff
9.2 NEAR MINT– (NM–): Nearly perfect with only a minor additional defect or defects that keep it from Near Mint. A limited number of minor bindery/printing defects are allowed. A light, barely noticeable water stain or slight foxing that does not detract from the beauty of the book is acceptable for this grade. Cover is flat with (almost) no surface wear. Inks are bright with only the slightest dimming of reflectivity. Generally well centered and firmly secured to interior pages. Corners are cut square and sharp with ever-so-slight blunting permitted. A 1/16-1/8" bend is permitted with no color break. No creases. Small, inconspicuous, lightly penciled, stamped or inked arrival dates are acceptable as long as they are in an unobtrusive location. No soiling, staining or other discoloration apart from some slight foxing. Spine is tight and flat. No spine roll or split allowed. Staples may show some discoloration. No staple tears are allowed; almost no stress lines. No rust migration. In rare cases, a comic was not stapled at the bindery and therefore has a missing staple; this is not considered a defect. Any staple can be replaced on books up to Fine, but only vintage staples can be used on books from Very Fine to Near Mint. Mint books must have original staples. Paper is (no worse than) off-white to cream, supple and fresh. No hint of acidity in the odor of the newsprint. Centerfold is firmly secure. Slight interior tears are allowed.
