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.




This FN+ copy looks neat and sharp, highlighting Kirby's characteristic style. The drama of the cover successfully conveys the motion of Thor's hammer swinging through a rain of Rock Trolls. Journey Into Mystery #83, the first appearance of The God of Thunder, was a major stepping stone in the creation of the Marvel Universe and this beautiful copy earned a 6.5 grade from CGC, with off-white to white pages. Countless Thor appearances in the MCU have made this book extremely desirable for investment buyers. Chris Hemsworth has recently announced he will be taking some time off of acting due to personal reasons, making speculation around JIM #83 spike as a new actor may be stepping in to pick up Mjolnir imbuing this book with another upward trend in value.

Overstreet Guide 2022 FN+ (6.5) value = $12,044
