Jack Kirby cover/art; 1st app. of Loki, Heimdall, Asgard, Odin; 3rd app. of Thor
Journey Into Mystery #85 is more than just the 3rd appearance of Thor. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby made even more comics history by introducing Loki (and Odin, and all of Asgard) into the Marvel Universe. Few readers, however, could anticipate that the loathsome Loki would become one of the most beloved antiheroes in Marvel fandom. Today, the God of Mischief has been rehabilitated into a true fan favorite, going from big-screen villain to the star of his own critically praised Disney+ streaming series. Marvel Studios continues to invest heavily in Loki's presence across their properties, assuring that early appearances of Thor's stepbrother remain prime investments.

With “Loki'' season two recently airing on Disney+ excitement surrounding this book is continuing to grow making this key a hot property, especially at higher grades. This copy hits all of the notes investment collectors look for in a Silver Age classic, strong colors, solid structural integrity, and ever-rising value. The book had not been recognized as an important key until recently which has lit a fire of interest amongst Loki fans, giving this sleeper issue a little extra “oomph” at auction. A Journey into Mystery #85 8.0 sold for $13,200 in June 2023.
