Curator Questions
Curated by Jade
Assessment:
An appealing Silver Age Marvel key featuring the first appearance of the Grey Gargoyle. This issue is desirable among collectors for its classic Thor storyline and Kirby artwork. The specimen shown presents in good, readable shape but displays edge wear and light creasing, likely grading in the Good to Very Good range if professionally evaluated (not slabbed or CGC graded).
Individual Images:
Main image clearly shows color breaks along the spine
minor chipping at corners
and general handling wear. No glaring evidence of restoration or marker/tape is visible. No additional images detailing interior pages
staples
or back cover
so possible internal defects are not assessed.
Provenance:
No provenance or sales receipt provided; standard raw collector's copy.
Condition:
Good/Very Good (significant spine wear, creasing, not officially graded)
Identification Score: 98%
The title, issue number, date, and cover artwork match official Marvel Comics archives. Classic Kirby/Lee signature style and published credits, plus cover price, confirm identity.
Authenticity Score: 90%
The physical characteristics (newsprint paper, 12¢ cover price, style of Marvel Comics stamp and Comics Code Authority seal, aging and wear patterns) all indicate an original 1964 issue. There are no immediate signs of facsimile or recent reproduction, but authenticity can only be 100% confirmed by in-hand inspection (ink, odor, paper aging, and staple placement).
Image Memory Note
This is a raw (not slabbed) Silver Age Marvel comic featuring Thor and the first appearance of the Grey Gargoyle. Mild to moderate reader wear visible. Not CGC graded, but presents as a desirable key issue.
