1st appearance of Thor (Dr. Don Blake) w/ origin; Jack Kirby cover/art; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 10 (CBI)
Journey Into Mystery #83 marks the first appearance of Thor as a Marvel superhero, giving Stan Lee an outlet for his more grandiose stylings. The issue also introduces readers to Dr. Don Blake, a humble human who (in this particular origin story) visits Norway and stumbles upon the walking stick that transforms him into Thor. That stick, naturally enough, becomes the mighty hammer Mjölnir. Fortunately, this all happens just in time for Thor to turn back an alien invasion by Stone Men from Saturn.
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 remains 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 fans everywhere to the mighty Thor, "The Most Exciting Super-Hero of all Time!!" Stan Lee and Jack Kirby continued their monumental run of iconic heroes with the Thunder God, who would later go on to join the Avengers. This copy earned a 4.5 CGC Universal Grade, with pristine white pages inside. The iconic Jack Kirby cover looks stunning, with only minor spine stress and wear visible over the nearly sixty years since this copy was first printed. Thor has appeared in over a dozen MCU movies at this point, and Chris Hemsworth isn't leaving the role anytime soon! This is a wonderful copy of the first appearance of one of the most popular comic book characters of all time!
