Journey into Mystery #112 January 1965 Marvel Thor vs Hulk low grade Lee Kirby

Description: This is a single issue lot. It is #112 of Journey into Mystery with The Mighty Thor from January 1965. Published by Marvel Comics, the creators involved in the lead story are the classic team of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby with inks by Chic Stone. The lead story features the first clash of Thor with the Incredible Hulk. The back-up feature, Tales of Asgard - The Coming of Loki features Lee and Kirby again but is inked by Vince Colletta. It is a first printing and US edition with no UK stamp. Not a facsimile. Not a reprint. I bought it as part of a back-issue lot from a US dealer about five years ago. I'm selling it as it is in lower grade than my other copy. The comic has a lot of flaws. See photos for the fine detail of its condition but the main issues are as follows: About one sixth of the back cover is torn away and missing. This is the top outer corner. A chunk 2cm x 3cm of the top outer corner of the front cover is missing. A chunk 3cm x 4cm of the top outer corner of page 1 & 2 is missing. These are story pages so in both cases part of one story panel is missing. On page one this affects only the title lettering. On page two it affects a panel in which Thor lands among a crowd of people. A chunk 2cm x 4cm of the top outer corner of page 13 is missing. The reverse of this page is ads but the story is affected on page 13 in a single panel. There is a 1cm tear to the top cover edge which extends into the thumbnail of Thor. There is some spine roll, creasing and a stain to the lower back cover near the spine which does not penetrate to the interior pages. Otherwise, all pages are present, the centrefold and cover are both attached at both staples and there is no tape, cut-outs or restoration. Owing to the flaws I'd estimate this copy to be around the fair grade. I will combine postage on multiple comic purchases at a rate of 50 pence per comic beyond the first purchase. Comic will be mailed bagged with packing and a board in a stiff card mailer and tracked.
