What’s Old: Journey Into Mystery #88 (2nd Loki); beautiful VF+ copy at £625
In our previously listed stock spot this week, we’re featuring a high grade gem from our vaults. Journey Into Mystery #88, featuring the sixth story of the Mighty Thor, is also just the second appearance of Loki, his half-brother and arch nemesis. It sports a wonderful Rainbow Bridge cover and art by Jack ‘King’ Kirby. This copy is a stunning VF+ cents copy, tight and flat with good, firmly attached staples and looks like it’s hardly ever been read. Great cover colour and gloss and clean off-white pages; just two tiny chips to the right edge prevent it grading VF/NM or even NM. Our price is £625; when you consider that in this grade, the current Overstreet value is $1067 and that a slabbed copy in this grade recently sold on eBay for an amazing $2329, this looks like an absolute bargain. Front and back covers and splash page are shown here; high resolution images are available on request. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
