Journey Into Mystery #84 

Jane Foster is going to hit big when this movie comes out. Her story – as Thor’s love interest, then as actual Thor, and later as Valkyrie – is one of the most interesting in the Thor family, and it all starts here, with Journey Into Mystery #84. Of course, where Jane starts is wildly different from where she ends up. Here, she’s Thor’s human alter ego Don Blake’s nurse, traveling with him on a humanitarian mission while Thor bashes a gang of communist soldiers to protect her. It’s a very Silver Age story, for better or worse. 

Of course, part of the better side of that equation is the cost. As a key Silver Age issue, you’ll be lucky to find this book for less than $900, and it’s likely to only go up from here. Grab it now, this one will have a long tail.

Journey Into Mystery annual #1

Thor’s first annual saw Stan Lee and Jack Kirby start to introduce pantheons beyond the Norse Gods to the Marvel Universe. Thor is on a quest to Jotunheim to stop the Storm Giants (exiled from Olympus) from breaking back through to their mythical home, when he falls through the portal by mistake and then spends 20 pages fighting Zeus’ son, Greek demigod and eventual Avenger Hercules. It is exactly what you’d expect: utterly gorgeous, full of bombast and energy, one of the most underappreciated fight comics of the Silver Age. It’s exceptional.

And while we know Zeus will be in Thor: Love & Thunder, there’s plenty of speculation that  Herc will be too. So his first appearance is going to do numbers, but this is one you’d likely want anyway. It’s really that good, and at $200, it’s probably priced low.
