*Marvel: Journey Into Mystery #89 is an issue we see less often than those around it; I don’t know why. Within the rather prosaically-titled The Thunder God and the Thug, the origin of Thor is masterfully re-told, as rendered by Jack Kirby. There’s also one of those wonderful Steve Ditko fantasy back-ups. But this issue is rightfully prized for the iconic Kirby Thor cover. This pence-printed copy has small colour-breaking creases at corners and edges, but the famous image is untouched. Some wear to spine and some chipping to right edge. Nice firm, tight staples and decent off-white, supple pages.
