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. Pure awesomeness brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s that brotherly love fight between them. Even though Loki wants to kill Thor, he actually wouldn’t with the love he has for him. I enjoy their onscreen performance in the MCU.

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? Love this cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microchip Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Would have, could have, should have chased. The grading looks excessively tough, barring some strong non-colour breaking defects not visible in the scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattTheDuck Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 For a long, long time, this first book was the oldest one I owned. It's like a miracle that I had access to "old" books in JIM but not in ASM, FF or Avengers as a kid. Just never saw any except 1 remaindered copy of FF #10. namisgr, speedcake, Jasonmorris1000000 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dikran Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Got this back last month from CGC, was sitting in an old label 9.0 OW slab for near 20 years. Decided to get greedy and play the CPR game for once. Very happy with the result. KirbyJack, Jasonmorris1000000, oatcrunch and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTheDuck Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 The #113 was one of the few books I bought in the mid-70s that anyone even bothered to "grade." It cost me $25 which at the time was by far the most expensive book I owned. KirbyJack and Microchip 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 I remember having to pay more for JIMs back in the day, compared to TOS or ST. Maybe it just felt that way because JIM ended sooner. Just glad to have them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyJack Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Nice upgrade, Matt! The majority of my JIM/Thor run looks like your 119. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have plenty that look like that #119 - well read before I bought them. My original books have no consistency at all. I start getting a little higher quality in the 130s but it jumps around. I had an original #192 I had to replace. KirbyJack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
