*Marvel: This week, the first appearance of Marvel’s version of Hercules in Journey Into Mystery With Thor Annual #1 from 1965, as Thor’s opposite number, and brawling partner/comrade-in-arms, as the exigencies of the plot demanded. Not the first Hercules in comics, nor the last – but Marvel’s well-intentioned wenching boozer is probably the best-loved iteration since the original legend! This bumper 72 page edition also features reprints of the debuts of some of Thor’s early major foes, including Loki. A lower-graded copy, pence stamped, spine intact but for 1cm split at bottom and tiny wear at top. Handling, edge and corner wear, mostly non colour-breaking, one small tear at right edge. Staples are strong and supple pages are a good off-white to cream. Small distribution marks below pence stamp inked over.
