Issue #127 features the first appearance of Pluto and Hippolyta. Our WP 9.8 was signed by the late Stan Lee in January 2011 and comes from the Rocky Mountain Collection. It is also the single highest graded signature copy of this book in existence. We undoubtedly overpaid for this one, but signed pedigree books are a rarity. We acquired the book from the 12/5/2022 Heritage Auction.*

On this Jack Kirby cover, Thor is the only hero standing in between Earth and an invasion force. This early Thor issue from 1966 introduces the Rigelians, also known as the Colonizers. Our WP 9.8 is one of only five at CGC's highest certified grade for the issue. We acquired the book in the 8/31/2023 CL Auction. It was one of those situations where there was apparently only one person buying Thors and this was the only book I needed so I threw in a high bid and got stuck very near my max, while every other Thor 9.8 in the auction went for a fraction of what I paid for this one. Reviewing the bidding history, the price quadruped right at the close, but there were only two bids, so if I had not been bidding-or if he has not- one of us would have gotten the book for 25% of what I ended up paying, which is one reason I hate CL Auctions.
It goes without saying that I do kinda regret the buy, but now I just have five books to go to complete this set in 9.6/9.8. Even still, I won’t be that crazy the next time a book I need to finish this set appears on the market.

Issue #134 from 1966 is a mini-key, in that it features the first appearance of High Evolutionary, who made his screen debut in Guardians of the Galaxy 3 played by Chukwudi Iwuji. This issue also features the Origin and first appearance of the Man-Beast and the first appearance of Fafnir. It is, consequently, on of the more expensive issues in this title and we decided to fill the slot with a 9.6 rather than shelling out about five times as much for a 9.8, which are available, just very pricey for a book so far into a run. We acquired our 9.6 from My Comic Shop in May 2013. Now we have just four books to go to finish this thing. Unfortunately, two of those remaining four are probably the two toughest issues to find in 9.6 or better in this title.
