I sincerely hope that everyone in the states stays safe and finds whatever resources they need Unfortunately all I can offer are directions and to let everyone know that this will always be a safe space

Journey into Mystery 1952 #85 Writer(s): Stan Lee, Larry Lieber Penciler(s): Jack Kirby Inker(s): Dick Ayers Colorist(s): Stan Goldberg 3/5 Don't go into these early issues expecting modern Loki is all I can really say about it

Tales to Astonish 1959 #35 Writer(s): Stan Lee, Larry Lieber Penciler(s): Jack Kirby Inker(s): Dick Ayers Colorist(s): Stan Goldberg Letterer(s): Artie Simek 3/5 It's cool I guess there's not a lot mention here, I like the costume a lot but all in all it's a 60's comic where he talks to ants

Fantastic Four 1961 #6 Writer(s): Stan Lee Penciler(s): Jack Kirby Inker(s): Dick Ayers, Joe Sinnott Colorist(s): Stan Goldberg Letterer(s): Terry Szenics 3/5 It's a fun team up for Namor and Doom, it's very 60's though so expect Doom to use a little pill to launch the Baxter Building into space

The Incredible Hulk 1962 #3 Writer(s): Stan Lee Penciler(s): Jack Kirby Inker(s): Dick Ayers Colorist(s): Stan Goldberg Letterer(s): Artie Simek 2/5 Now we get to the part where Rick Jones can verbally command the Hulk for some reason, again, glad this was dropped eventually

Journey into Mystery 1952 #84 Writer(s): Stan Lee, Larry Lieber Penciler(s): Jack Kirby Inker(s): Dick Ayers Colorist(s): Stan Goldberg Letterer(s): Artie Simek 3.5 I know he's still new to this, but Thor is gonna struggle with powerscaling for a while

Journey into Mystery 1952 #83 Writer(s): Stan Lee, Larry Lieber Penciler(s): Jack Kirby Inker(s): Joe Sinnott Colorist(s): Stan Goldberg Letterer(s): Artie Simek 4/5 Maybe a hot take, but I think Thor's early costume looks better than Spider-Man's, I can't wait for the weirdness I know I'll see

Amazing Fantasy 1962 #15 Writer(s): Stan Lee, Steve Ditko Penciler(s): Steve Ditko Inker(s): Steve Ditko Colorist(s): Stan Goldberg Letterer(s): Artie Simek 4/5 This one definitely sticks out among origin stories, there's not much more to say than this really changed the superhero game forever

Fantastic Four 1961 #5 Writer(s): Stan Lee Penciler(s): Jack Kirby Inker(s): Joe Sinnott Colorist(s): Stan Goldberg Letterer(s): Artie Simek 3.5/5 Doom's big debut, introducing his time chair which leads to Thing becoming Blackbeard, which totally slaps look how good he looks here

Amazing Adult Fantasy 1961 #14 Writer(s): Stan Lee Penciler(s): Steve Ditko Inker(s): Steve Ditko Colorist(s): Stan Goldberg Letterer(s): Artie Simek 3/5 This one is super interesting, Tad Carter is the first Marvel mutant, and has had a few appearances since this issue. Solid early concepts here

The Incredible Hulk 1962 #2 Writer(s): Stan Lee Penciler(s): Jack Kirby Inker(s): Steve Ditko Letterer(s): Art Simek 2.5/5 The beginning of Stan Lee's lack of understanding of what magnets do, like seriously if you didn't know Stan Lee had zero clue about what they actually did

Tales to Astonish 1958 #32 Writer(s): Stan Lee, Larry Lieber Penciler(s): Don Heck Inker(s): Don Heck Colorist(s): Stan Goldberg Letterer(s): Artie Simek 2.5/5 D Story is a Medusa story, so that's fun, I don't really have anything interesting or witty to say

The Incredible Hulk 1962 #1 Writer(s): Stan Lee Penciler(s): Jack Kirby Inker(s): Paul Reinman Colorist(s): - Letterer(s): Artie Simek 3.5/5 Great origin, glad they move on from the night time transformations quickly, overall this makes me wish Rick Jones was in the MCU, or any Hulk movie

Tales to Astonish 1958 #30 Writer(s): Stan Lee, Larry Lieber Penciler(s): Jack Kirby Inker(s): Dick Ayers Colorist(s): Stan Goldberg Letterer(s): Ray Holloway 2/5 Again, the E Story is only canon because "Quogg" will show up 60 years later, so whatever

Tales to Astonish 1958 #29 Writer(s): Stan Lee, Larry Lieber Penciler(s): Jack Kirby Inker(s): Dick Ayers Colorist(s): Stan Goldberg Letterer(s): Ray Holloway, Artie Simek 2/5 The A Story is only canon because a 2019 Kid Kaiju comic had the alien species in it so sure whatever I guess

Fantastic Four 1961 #4 Writer(s): Stan Lee Penciler(s): Jack Kirby Inker(s): Sol Brodsky Colorist(s): Stan Goldberg Letterer(s): Artie Simek 3/5 This guy with amnesia was wearing Namor's clothes and didn't put 2 and 2 together, oh well, at least horny McBig Brain is back

Fantastic Four 1961 #3 Writer(s): Stan Lee Penciler(s): Jack Kirby Inker(s): Sol Brodsky Colorist(s): Stan Goldberg Letterer(s): Artie Simek 4/5 Unironically one of my absolute favorite covers of any comic ever, and contains a lot of recognizable imagery that would carry on for a long time

Tales to Astonish 1958 #27 Writer(s): Stan Lee, Larry Lieber Penciler(s): Jack Kirby Inker(s): Dick Ayers Colorist(s): Uncredited Letterer(s): Artie Simek 4/5 Pym judo chops an ant 10/10

Fantastic Four 1961 #2 Writer(s): Stan Lee Penciler(s): Jack Kirby Inker(s): George Klein Colorist(s): Stan Goldberg Letterer(s): John Duffy 2.5/5 One thing I've learnt from these early issues is every other issue of every single title is an alien invasion story. Every. Single. One.

Fantastic Four 1961 #1 Writer(s): Stan Lee Penciler(s): Jack Kirby Inker(s): George Klein, Christopher Rule Colorist(s): Stan Goldberg Letterer(s): Artie Simek 4/5 It's honestly hard to try and review these older comics being 60 years old, but one thing is always true, Reed is a total dick
