The Journey into Mystery #83 in context
Why collectors care
Journey into Mystery #83 (1962) is the first appearance of the Mighty Thor, a foundational Silver Age Marvel key and one of the most important superhero debuts of the era.
How to identify it
A 1962 first printing at 10 cents, not the Golden Record reprint or the facsimile. Confirm the indicia.
Common mistakes
The Golden Record reprint and facsimile are routinely sold as the original; check the indicia and cover price. Restoration is common.
Grade considerations
High-grade copies are scarce and page quality varies widely. Spine stress and chipping are the usual grade-limiters.

Recorded sales by grade · how this summary is built+
Newest recorded sale: 2026-09-24. This summary describes stored history.
Inclusion
All 6 recorded eBay sold (completed) listings in this historical sample, grouped by grader and grade. Asking prices and active listings are never counted.
Outlier handling
Within any grade that has four or more sales, a price below one-third of, or above three times, the within-grade median is set aside before the median is taken. No sales were set aside on this rule for this item.
A comic sale that sold for under a third of the median of this issue's lower-grade sales is also set aside as a probable reprint, facsimile, later printing or restored copy, since a higher grade of the same book should not sell for less. No sales were set aside on this rule for this item.
| Grade | Sales | Included | Set aside |

| CGC 2.5 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| CGC 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
