ow/w pgs
Origin & 1st app of Thor (Dr. Don Blake); Jack Kirby cover/art; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 10 (CBI)Stan Lee found an outlet for his more grandiose stylings with the introduction of Norse god Thor as a proper superhero—with this issue also introducing readers to Dr. Don Blake, a humble human whose walking stick turns him into the legendary figure who turns back an alien invasion with his mighty hammer Mjölnir. Thor’s continuing appearances in Journey Into Mystery would eventually lead to his own title exploring the epic world of Asgard. This issue was always considered rare after an unusually low print run, and is reliable as a great investment. Fans of artist Jack Kirby even consider this issue to be a breakthrough for the legendary comics artist, offering pencils drawn with a surprising grace and elegance. The God of Thunder has remained one of Marvel’s biggest draws, with the character’s next MCU appearance already a source of great speculation.
The important touchstones from the dawn of the Marvel Age have been on a hot streak of late and there seems to be no slowing down for the keys of the Silver Age. The first appearance of Thor in the pages of a Marvel mag has been a fan favorite for many decades now, but prices on these books keep going up, so, with five opportunities to land a personal copy in this Event Auction, we advise those in the hunt for JIM #83 to take advantage of this special opportunity.
Overstreet Guide 2020 F/VF (7.0) value = $12,350.
