Owner's Description
Issue #85 features the first appearance of Loki and, as such, is the second most valuable book in this run. A great deal of series mythology is introduced in this issue: Thor battles his miscreant brother Loki and their homeworld of Asgard and the implacable guardian Heimdall also make their respective debuts. The father of the gods, Odin, also shows up in a brief cameo. The cover and art are by Jack Kirby, while the backup feature art is by Steve Ditko. This book was part of the heralded Doug Schmell Collection, which was certainly the greatest Marvel collection of comics ever seen on this registry. It is currently one of four 9.6s topping the census.
2022 Update: With the success of the Loki TV series, this book has really skyrocket in value. I believe this is the nicest copy out there, I just wish it were in a 9.8 holder.
