British Update: Marvellous Alan Class Reprints: Suspense #29 – presenting the debut of Loki from Journey Into Mystery #85
*Alan Class Reprints: Continuing our series spotlighting the Marvel reprint issues of the Alan Class series, we focus this week on Suspense # 9, with the reprint – probably one of the earliest reprints – of Journey Into Mystery #85, the comic in which Thor met Loki, his adoptive brother and nemesis, for the first time. (Well, in the comics pages; obviously they’d met before in ‘real life’. Ahem.) As noted previously, the Alan Class issues which feature Marvel covers and key Marvel reprints are spiralling up in value, and this, being an early Kirby Thor, Kirby cover, and a major villain debut, is hotly pursued. This VG copy, with good page quality and only minor wear at the top and bottom spine, is offered at £50.
