British Update: Marvelous Alan Class Reprints: 1st Thor in Suspense #35
*Alan Class Reprints: Another hidden gem from the Alan Class series of reprints is issue #35 of Suspense, which features, in the back of the book, “The Stone Men From Saturn” by Lee and Kirby, as it appeared in Journey Into Mystery #83! The first appearance of Thor, God of Thunder, one of the pivotal characters in the Marvel Universe, this has gone largely unnoticed because the publisher didn’t use the original cover, and went instead with “The Blotting Threat”. Oh, well. Although the Alan Class publications were not dated (and Alan’s own memory is imprecise), we believe this may be the first ever reprinting of this origin story! This is a FN+ copy with only minor spine roll (largely attributable, we think, to the glue in the spine contracting over the decades), but lovely bright interior pages and tight corners. FN+, on sale at £35. You’ll find this in our regular Alan Class Reprints listings. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
