History of Journey into Mystery Comics

JIM started off, in 1952, as a horror and fantasy anthology comic.

Atlas Comics was the successor to Timely, and the precursor to Marvel, and they launched JIM during the later Golden Age, during the pre-Code glory years of horror comics.

EC Comics was thriving at that time, and JIM was a success right out of the gate.

JIM #1 appeared in June, 1952, with a gruesome cover by Russ Heath that neatly embodies the time period.

JIM, it is safe to say, rode the coattails of its EC inspirations to success.

While JIM never rivaled EC's horror titles in quality or popularity, Atlas never ran afoul of the Comics Code Authority like EC did, and Stan Lee certainly wasn't subjected to the same harassment as William Gaines.

Journey into Mystery was a horror title by Atlas
Weird fantasy comic

So, JIM was a stepping stone for Atlas to morph into Marvel as the Golden Age ended and the Silver Age began, and survived for years so that a certain long-haired Norse Thunder God could occupy its pages for 40-odd issues, spring boarding The Mighty Thor to comic stardom.

Yes, starting with JIM #83, the title was basically a vehicle for Odin's favorite son, and after a while, all things Asgardian.

Stan Lee by then (1962) had sussed out that superheroes were the way to go. The Silver Age may have started a little later at Marvel than it had at DC, but when it did start, it started with a vengeance.

Thor would eventually prove so popular that JIM was turned into The Mighty Thor with #126. The rest, as they say, is history.

Almost all of the earliest issues of JIM are valuable, in the way that all Golden Age comics are to a certain extent valuable in good condition. But it is the Thor issues that have the most interest for collectors, even if they don't fetch as much as Journey Into Mystery #1.

Thor was a key part of Marvel's rise to the top as the sixties got rolling, and JIM is where that all starts.
