Series: Journey Into Mystery/Thor (1952-2004)
JiM ran as a creature feature until #83, when it introduced Thor. It later became “Journey Into Mystery With Thor” and then, with #126, became, simply, “Thor.” It ran as Thor until issue #502 in 1996, when it again became Journey Into Mystery. Eventually it reverted to Thor again until #621, when Thor “died” and the book closed out its run with a “Dissembled” tie-in. Journey would return over a decade later, but I’ve covered that run separately as its own volume–even though it picked up numbering from this book.
