American Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: ‘If SHE Be Worthy…’ What If #10, First Jane Foster as Thor
*Marvel: Inspired no doubt by DC’s Imaginary Stories of the 1960s, in 1977 Marvel came up with the What If? concept, which had fun with the what-might-have-beens of the Marvel Universe. Highly popular with fans, who loved these sort of done-in-one stories, previously only the speculations of fandom, one issue has broken ranks to become a highly sought-after edition. #10, ‘What If Jane Foster Had Found The Hammer of Thor?’, was the first rendition of Jane Foster as Thor, and, in light of the recent series which had Dr. Foster taking over the mantle of the God of Thunder in ‘real’ Marvel Continuity, plus the info. that the next Thor movie will have Jane in the title role, this early ‘prototype’ of the concept has shot up in price. This FN cents copy (no pence copies exist of first series What If?, being ND UK) is available for £50. SOLD
