DESCRIPTION
A 20% BUYER'S PREMIUM WILL BE ADDED TO THIS ITEM AT CONCLUSION OF THE AUCTION
white pages; QES Certified: impressive prime focal area, beautiful spine, deep color strike (red, blue & grey); 2nd highest graded!
Origin & 1st app of Thor (Doctor Don Blake); Jack Kirby cover/art; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 10 (CBI)
Melding elements of Norse mythology with the by-now-standard superhero tropes of the funny pages, Stan Lee followed up his Jekyll & Hyde-style Hulk with this cosmic, high-camp treasure. The book was initially scripted by Stan's brother Larry (to give the overworked Lee some down time), and penciled with surprising grace and elegance by Jack Kirby. Another instant favorite, the comic confirmed Lee's Midas touch in the early 1960s as the title soon became the bedrock for Marvel's more theatrical and grandiose styling. In recent years, the character has enjoyed yet another renaissance thanks to Marvel's savvy cinematic exploitation, and this debut appearance, already extremely rare thanks to an unusually low print run, has become in even greater demand.




This copy of Journey Into Mystery #83 is one of the second-highest graded around, with only one Universal example listed higher up the Census, making this a very desirable copy for investment collectors and Thor fanatics alike. QES has noted this particular issue for its impressive prime focal area, beautiful spine, and deep red, blue, and gray color strike. While there has been no announcement of a Thor film in the next phase of the MCU, there is a strong likelihood that the God of Thunder will return to the fold in the future, which will surely drive up the value of this major Silver Age key once again. This is certainly one of the nicest copies of JIM #83 that we’ve ever seen, with spot-on centering, solid construction, great colors, and sharp corners, this is sure to be a potential record-setter at grade in EA #54.

Overstreet Guide 2022 NM- (9.2) value = $110,000.
