Frisco Larson Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 An awesome cover deserving of having a nice grade copy and a nice reader. KirbyJack and namisgr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I" could apply that to every Kirby Thor KirbyJack, however my bank account fiercely disagrees with that. . At least the part about me being able to afford nice grade copies of all of them.

KirbyJack Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I’ve got a few nice ones, but my Thor run was assembled during my “quantity over quality” phase, so there are still a bunch of un-upgraded issues. At this point, of course, they will almost certainly remain so. Frisco Larson, Math Teacher, namisgr and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frisco Larson Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Nice copy KirbyJack!!! Yeah, they're getting expensive these days. I have SOME nicer raw copies, but many of mine are "I bought what I saw" copies. I should really take a better pic of this.

MattTheDuck Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I don't have any of them slabbed (or many even scanned), and most were purchased under the "KirbyJack Protocol," but I had a complete run of Thor (cheating a little by not including JIM, although I had 112-125) early in my collecting during the mid-70s. A lot of people seem to not like the stories during this time, but I always did. Mangog was a personal favorite.

speedcake Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 I love that run. I’ll be working on completing it again soon. Great covers and fun stories, what’s not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 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.

I run into them regularly. A seasoned collector buddy of mine semi-recently told me that he found the whole "thee & thou" style of storytelling to be off putting when he was younger. He collects them again NOW and from what I can tell, he seems to have gotten over that. KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTheDuck Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Forsooth, there is some stilted dialogue and story-telling, as ancient myth and legend can be, verily. There are probably no titles that are universally liked. Frisco Larson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frisco Larson Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Agreed! I don't recall ever hearing anyone tell me that they didn't like Kirby's artwork though. RayJr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
