JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY WITH THE MIGHTY THOR

Seven (7) early SA JIM/THORs up for grabs...CHEAP!

 

All of these books with the exception of #111 have been part of my personal collection since the late 60s…purchased second-hand at the old downtown Torrance Bookstore and lovingly shepherded into this new millennium…several of the books have the same common stain running through the book which has been factored into the grade…books are strictly graded but I realize there can be a wide variety of opinion of just how stains, and depending on their severity, can affect grade so please read my copious book notes of the book’s description in detail if considering a purchase…beyond that I’m happy to answer any questions via this thread or PM that you might have.

 

Having said that, all books are guaranteed satisfaction and exhibit very nice eye appeal for their technical grades sitting in their Mylite 2s in hand…individual book prices account for the free shipping and are firm but I’m happy to consider discounts for multiple books…books ship the day or day after I receive payment.

 

Free Shipping USA and Canada: USPS 1st Class or Priority depending on number of books and weight of the package.

Payment: PP Personal; money order or check.

Stan Lee story. Jack Kirby/Chic Stone cover/art.

Nice copy, lots of eye-appeal for the technical grade. Mild spine wear, chips out of top and bottom spine corners (little tear at bottom spine corner) accentuated by a gnarly “chew” deal going on at the logo…hint of overhang top and bottom edges, a few small transverse tears at bottom edge…about 5 teeny chips along right edge not readily evident until the cover is opened…creasing top and bottom right corners…some soft random NCB creases but otherwise the cover lacks rumple of any serious nature…vendor’s date stamp at “MY” portion of title. Back cover is in reasonable shape with some spine soiling and a more evident stain(?) associated with the front cover chew, a light but noticeable long diagonal crease starting from the top center edge down to about the ad salesman’s ear…stain that is evident at bottom left corner goes all the way through book. Structure is sound, book lays flat , perfectly centered with centerfold firmly attached with perfectly-centered, rust-free staples. Interior covers have light tanning at the perimeter. Interior pages are cream to off-white and in otherwise fine condition…COMPLETE!

Grade 2.5. G+

2009 OSPG $27 in G-VG grade.

Another very nice copy for the technical grade. ¼-inch spine splits/abrasions top and bottom spine corners…cover barely hanging on at bottom staple, otherwise noticeable but fairly mild spine wear…crease and chip out of bottom right corner, stain that runs all the way through book, light stain in between Thor’s legs, top and right edge clean. 3-inch diagonal NCB crease lower right through the bottom of Thor’s cape, also a soft crease from Thor’s right shoulder down through cape and another hairline-breaking color crease starting at the top edge at the “I” in INTO and running SE to Thor’s hammer…nice color and gloss.

AUG 1964. “WHEN THE GREY GARGOYLE STRIKES!” First appearance Grey Gargoyle. Tales of Asgard story “Balder Must Die!”

Stan Lee story. Jack Kirby/Chic Stone cover/art. Pretty nice copy for the technical grade due to stain that transmit bottom and side edge all the way through the book. Small chips out of top and bottom spine corners and some mild spine wear, nothing serious. There appear to be some very light small stains below the “T” in THOR and to the bottom left of the story title block (not readily evident until the book is held up to the right light). Light thumb-crease at right edge on the man in the brown suit…overhang at bottom edge, both front and back cover and a light crease at both top and bottom right edges, otherwise cover is pretty rumple and crease-free. Distribution date stamp at top of “TH” and an erased grease pencil re-sale mark on the middle of the “T”. Back cover exhibits aforementioned stain with some creasing along the lower left margin, some light soiling along the spine and a general fading/light tanning of the overall white background. Solid structure with just a hint of spine-roll…centerfold rigidly affixed with perfectly-centered rust-free staples.

Interior covers exhibit staining as mentioned, with light to medium tanning at the perimeter. Interior pages are cream to off-white and in fine overall condition. Cool full page ad for ASM Annual #1 and Marvel Tales #1…COMPLETE!

Staining again on this one keeps it from the 4.0/4.5 range. 1/4-inch spine split/abrasion top spine, small chip/abrasion bottom spine corner, light but noticeable spine wear and some light soiling, overhang and some light pre-chipping top edge, overhang and light chipping/chatter bottom edge with a nice clean right edge, sharp top right corner and a fuzzy creasy bottom right corner.

Back cover is in presentable shape with a drop-crease at bottom spine corner and the aforementioned staining at bottom left edge and up the side…general fade to the overall white background with some light soiling. Interior covers are off-white and in nice shape (no tanning!). Excellent structure, well-centered, book lies flat with centerfold rigidly secured by near-perfectly-centered rust-free staples.

This is a solid 4.5 copy with wear commensurate with the grade.

Some very light small creases upper right corner and some wear/rounded corner bottom right…hairline top edge overhang shows some light wear…otherwise edges are clean.

Back cover is in decent shape with evident NCB creases at upper left corner, some light soiling along the spine, light tanning around the perimeter, a little light stain bottom margin and a 1/2-inch soft crease lower left corner…upper left crease extends to back page as well. Structure is excellent, book lies flat with perfectly centered, rigidly-affixed rust-free staples.

Interior covers have medium dark tanning at the perimeter. Splash page has an ink-stamped $ .75 resale price stamp upper right margin. Interior pages are white in the center, generally overall off-white with just a hint of light tanning at the perimeter and are in generally excellent shape except for the crease on the last page as mentioned.
