About the character
The Asgardian god of thunder, Thor Odinson wields the enchanted hammer Mjolnir. A cornerstone of the Marvel Universe since 1962 and a box-office powerhouse since 2011.
What is a first appearance worth?
Journey into Mystery #83 is a genuinely valuable comic. Raw copies in low-to-mid grade typically trade in the hundreds; nicer, unrestored copies in the UK market often reach low to mid four figures, and CGC-certified high-grade examples can go significantly higher. Condition details — cover gloss, spine roll, page tanning — make a big difference. We are happy to assess any grade.
Exact figures depend on grade and condition. See the full Journey into Mystery #83 valuation guide →
