I checked all the early Mystics, Darings, and Marvel Mystery’s and couldn’t find anything. Weird Comics 1 (April, 1940 FOX) would have the first mention of Thor in any comic book I believe.

Popular Post Wayne-Tec Posted May 12, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2020 If it was indeed the 1st mention of Thor in Timely/Marvel Comics history, it’s just another reason why Cap #1 may be the No. 1 book of the Golden Age in terms of overall-package. • 1st app. of Captain America • Origin of Captain America • 1st app. of the Red Skull • 1st app. of Hitler (cover only) in Timely/Marvel Comics History • 1st app. of Bucky Barnes (later to become the Winter Soldier) • 1st mention of Thor “God of Thunder” in Timely/Marvel Comics History • 2nd app. of Makkari (Mercury/Hurricane) of The Eternals • Classic Jack Kirby Cover Action Comics #1 is a more desirable book, for a number of different reasons. But I would argue that Cap #1 packs more content than any Golden Age comic book in history, maybe more than any comic book in history period.

I was leaning towards Marvel #1 just a few weeks ago, now, I’m not so sure. The 1st mention of Thor is just a minor tidbit. It’s the total package that’s so impressive.

No doubt Cap #1 would have never existed without Marvel #1. Marvel #1 is also the birth of the Marvel Universe. It makes for a compelling argument. Very similar to comparing FF #1 to AF #15. From a comic book history standpoint, Marvel #1 and FF #1 are in a category of their own. But you could definitely argue Cap #1 and AF #15 are greater overall books. No right or wrong answer here.

Marvel 1 has the most fascinating comic book history as far as distribution and publishing goes thanks to Goodman and Jacquet. That's cool to me. Most people don't care about those sort of details. While Subby and Torch are characters that made it into the silver age and beyond, I consider FF1 to be the birth of the Marvel Universe as we know it today.

It’s definitely not perfectly analogous, but pretty similar as far as comic book comparisons go IMO. You’re not alone in finding the publishing/distribution interesting, I’m with you there. What I like about the Marvel #1/FF #1 vs. Cap #1/AF #15 comparison is that compelling arguments could be made for either group, just for very different reasons.

Popular Post GreatCaesarsGhost Posted May 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) @Comics181 That’s a great way to start back! but I do not understand the CGC policy on trimming of these individual pages. First of all, your page doesn’t even look trimmed to begin with. Second, it would seem to me that ALL single pages had to have been trimmed one way or another in the process of removal from the book. Isn’t any cutting of paper considered trimming? for instance, consider the below page. Clearly this page got cut out of a book. Yet, blue label p.s. I may be speaking heresy here, but I like single pages. I think they will become more and more embraced as key books remain beyond the means of most. And in this age of encapsulation, it’s nice to catch a glimpse of the actual inside art and story(I only wish I could rekindle the magic of looking thru my eyes as a 7 year old - I guess it depends on how much I’ve had to drink) Edited May 18, 2020 by GreatCaesarsGhost Sensei Ryan, Comics181, woowoo and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to think the trimming was done by some kid trying to make the edges line up after they accidentally ripped the page out and put it back in. Btw that page is beautiful!
