Sweet Lou 14 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) On 10/5/2021 at 5:10 PM, KirbyJack said: It’s a thing, tho: lots of otherwise rational silver age collectors don’t seem to like Thor. I run into them regularly. The numbers, however, indicate that during the sixties, Thor was one of Marvel’s better selling titles. I know I consider it second only to the Fantastic Four. Yeah, I hear you but I don't get it. Thor is easily top 3 among Silver Age Marvel books. If you want to put Spidey and FF ahead of Thor, there's no shame in that ... but Avengers and TOS are a significant step down while DD, Strange Tales, TTA, and X-Men don't even come close. (And I love all of those books.) Edited October 6, 2021 by Sweet Lou 14 KirbyJack, jayhawker, Microchip and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post namisgr Posted October 6, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Thor was always one of my favorite SA titles for storylines and art, so much so it was the first run of SA readers I put together in the 1970s when back issues were super cheap and condition wasn't an issue. Later when I was able to focus on high grade books the title once again became a favorite. I started this thread over 14 years ago now (where does the time go?) to show off my JIM Thor run at the time. The books are all gone, the high grade recirculated into the hobby and the original SA reader run given to my son when he was a teenager. Two from the Pacific Coast and two the Northland pedigree.

Kirby Cap in TOS I love the rest, too, but they just can't compete with these. Microchip and Sweet Lou 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

01TheDude Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 (edited) How many here have multiple copies of some old Thor books? Not talking about graded copies exactly (of which I have zero Thor related ones). I know I have several while some holes in my early JIM run continue to bother me. Granted-- I'm not talking about nose bleed high grade copies either-- just decent complete readers to fill those holes as a completest. I'm too dang cheap to pay up for the copies. I would imagine someone has come up with a way to do some horse trading over in the wanted to buy forum probably-- but it seems like not much ever happens over there. Not sure- part of me is like "just let it go-- you have a ton of books that you already barely read anyway". Anyway-- hope I am not breaking any rules here. I just think that similar minds should try to find a method to help each other out. Edited October 7, 2021 by 01TheDude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
