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.

This 8.0 Journey Into Mystery #85 is an impressive showcase for Jack Kirby's emerging talents, as one of the industry's biggest innovators continued to make bold leaps in his style. The enduring quality of this cover shows off Kirby's use of depth while introducing Loki in an Art Deco setting that foreshadows his work into the 1970s. There's also an impressively intact spine and sharp corners wrapped around pages that have remained a sparkling white for over 60 years!
