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.
Journey into Mystery #83 introduced audiences to Marvel’s heroic deity, Thor, aka Doctor Don Blake, and future Asgardian Avenger. This copy earned a 7.0 CGC Universal Grade and has off-white to white pages. The iconic Jack Kirby cover is incredibly sharp, featuring a beautiful rendition of Thor swinging his hammer as he takes on a horde of Stone Men of Saturn. The classic Journey into Mystery logo presents a crisp red that almost pops off the page. Another CGC 7.0 Journey into Mystery #83 sold recently for $38,500. This was a major stepping stone in the Marvel Silver Age superhero explosion, an essential building block of the Marvel Universe we all know and love today, and a gorgeous copy of an all-time classic investment key.
Overstreet Guide 2021 F/VF (7.0) value = $13,500
