When forced to choose back in the 60's, I rarely put a Thor back. I'm told it was briefly Marvel's best seller for a short time. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) FF, Thor, ASM, Ditko Doc and Kirby Cap. That’s where my 60 cents would have gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjum12 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 I was lucky if I had a quarter each week ... which was 2 comics or a candy bar and soda. I quickly discovered the comics lasted far longer than the junk food. After '68 it became complicated to choose with twice the titles. FF, ASM, THOR, DD, HULK, and Avengers were my favorites, but I liked them all, even the DC and Harvey stuff.

Gaard Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 When I was a kid (all those years ago), The Grey Gargoyle was my favorite Thor villain. I haven't read a Thor comic in about 25 years and I often wonder what my old buddy has been up to. Is he still around? B2D327 and RayJr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batmiesta Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) What do you think this will go for?

Journey into mystery annual 1 9.8 1st Hercules should go for low 5 figures in a normal reality, but who knows ? It's a VERY cool comic book also .... quality material at the peak of the SA.

jimjum12 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) Got an upgrade on this one... and this is a late SA book I wouldn't mind having a high grade slab of. The search may continue.

Popular Post KCOComics Posted February 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 14, 2021 I got this hand painted statue recently from a new comic shop in RI. I'm not a statue guy, but loved the detail on this! I thought it warranted a Thor bump.

Yeah, I'm fortunate that I got low grade copies when they were more affordable and then I've been slowly upgrading. With the way prices have gone, I don't think I'll be buying a lot of bigger books this year, but I will be looking to upgrade some of my lower grade books if there is an opportunity to.

I would say the composition of the figures looks very Kirby but he might have left it to Ayers or someone else to finish the art (i.e, more than just inking over finished pencils).
