*Marvel: Before the coming of Thor, Journey Into Mystery, which had started out in the pre-code horror era, was in full Big Panty Monster mode, where said monsters were out to conquer or destroy the Earth, provided, in many cases, that they were equipped with sufficiently capacious panties. Dominated by Kirby and Ditko, this is a great period to collect for fans of these two titans of the Marvel Age of Comics.
