Description:

Journey Into Mystery #83 (Marvel, 1962) CGC 9.4 Off-white to white pages. Marvel was on a roll in 1962, reinventing itself with the introduction of superheroes that would in short time revolutionize the comics world. The Fantastic Four, the Hulk, and Ant-Man had already been introduced by the peerless team of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby when the August 1962 issue of Journey Into Mystery hit the newsstands with yet another new superhero, the Mighty Thor. Kirby's cover for the issue is one of his most famous, and this comes oh-so-close to the finest copy you could hope to find. To date CGC has certified a higher grade to just one other copy. Early Marvel Age keys continue to be hot commodities, especially such high-grade gems as our offering. Bid thee well! Overstreet 2005 NM- 9.2 value = $10,000. CGC census 2/05: 3 in 9.4, 1 higher.
