American Comics Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Debut of High Evolutionary in Thor #134
*Marvel: Like most major Marvel characters who have been around for decades, the High Evolutionary has a long and convoluted history that we don’t have time and space to go into here. Suffice it to say that genetic manipulation is at the core of his work ethos, and that he will make his MCU debut in Guardians Of The Galaxy 3, scheduled for 2023. He first appeared in Thor #134, where the Thunder God pursues a kidnapped Jane Foster to Wundagore and encounters the High Evolutionary and his knights/men-beasts. This is a perfectly serviceable mid-grade copy. Like all Marvel comics dated October and November 1966, its UK distribution was affected by a dock strike, and the relatively few copies that made it here at the time had a different 10d stamp on them. On this copy, that stamp has been overwritten with ‘6d’ in black marker (see scan). Otherwise there are minor colour-breaking creases in corners and edges, with a few white spine ticks. Corner blunting, but okay, off-white pages and tight, firm staples.
