*Marvel: From the Good Doctor Collection 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. This is a lower graded pence stamped copy, with the lower spine neatly taped for 10 cm, and a couple of fairly faint arrival dates stamped on the cover above and below the figure of Hercules. Nevertheless, decent colour and gloss, tight, firm staples and nice pages. Minor edge and corner wear, but nothing bad. This update also features Annual #2.
PICTURED: JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY WITH THOR ANNUAL #1 GD+ p £175
