1st app of Thanos, Mentor, Drax the Destroyer, Starfox, Kronos, and the Blood Brothers; Jim Starlin story, cover, art.
Jon Berk CollectionThe Marvel Cinematic Universe dominated the box office thanks to the singular threat of Thanos, the Mad Titan. The legendary creation of writer/artist Jim Starlin made his first appearance in the pages of Iron Man #55, and this classic comic has continued to increase in value alongside nostalgia for Marvel's big-screen success. Starlin also took the opportunity to introduce readers to Thanos' companion creation Drax the Destroyer, who'd find his own big-screen fame in the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise.
There are even more memorable first appearances crammed into this epic collectible, including Mentor, Starfox, and the dire threat of the Blood Brothers. Josh Brolin—who famously starred as Thanos in the Marvel movies—recently revived rumors of his character making a big-screen return, while reminding fans of how Thanos is still a villainous favorite whose diabolical debut remains a top investment.

Starlin credits legendary artists Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko as major influences to his illustration style which is apparent in his early works. For over 40 years hes been known for his space opera-esque stories where he created popular characters such as Thanos, Drax and Gamora. His most notable works include Iron Man Adam Warlock and the Infinity Gauntlet.
Joe Sinnott is an American comic book artist. Working primarily as an inker, Sinnott is best known for his long stint on Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four, from 1965 to 1981, initially over the pencils of Jack Kirby. During his 60 years as a Marvel freelancer and then salaried artist working from home, Sinnott inked virtually every major title, with notable runs on The Avengers, The Defenders and Thor.
