Journey Into Mystery #83 CGC 4.0 SS ow Signed by Thor's Creator Stan Lee CGC #0329073002

CGC SS Series, Signed by Stan Lee Origin & First Appearance of THOR. Historic Issue.Classic Splash Cover "Thor" is easily one of the most iconic comic characters to emerge from the Silver Age of Comics. The founding Avenger was created for Marvel Comics by penciller-plotter Jack Kirby, editor-plotter Stan Lee, and scripter Larry Lieber. Lee based the character and storyline after the Norse God of Thunder and modernized the legend to better suit a modern audience. After realizing that "Journey Into Mystery" needed a boost, Lee and Kirby debuted Thor in issue #83 of the giant monster and science fiction series. Thus, "BEGIN THE SAGA OF THOR IN THIS ISSUE," as the cover so boldly states, hitting the newsstands one full month prior to Spider-Man's debut in AF 15. Jim #83 Ranks as one of the scarcest early 1960's Marvel Grails with less copies graded by CGC than AF# 15, ASM #1, Toss #39, Xmen #1, Avengers #1 , Daredevil #1 to name just a few.  Publisher: Marvel Comics Date Issued: 1962 Condition: CGC 4.0 Page Quality: Off White Pages
