'''''Journey into Mystery''''' is an American [[comic book]] series initially published by [[Atlas Comics (1950s)|Atlas Comics]], then by its successor, [[Marvel Comics]]. Initially a [[horror comics]] anthology, it changed to giant-monster and [[science fiction]] stories in the late 1950s. Beginning with issue #83 ([[cover date]]d Aug. 1962), it ran the [[superhero]] feature "[[Thor (Marvel Comics)|The Mighty Thor]]", created by writers [[Stan Lee]] and [[Larry Lieber]] and artist [[Jack Kirby]], and inspired by the mythological [[Norse mythology|Norse]] [[Thor|thunder god]]. The series, which was renamed for its superhero star with issue #126 (March 1966), has been revived three times: in the 1970s as a horror anthology, and in the 1990s and 2010s with characters from Marvel's Thor mythos. The title was also used in 2019 for a limited series as part of the "[[War of the Realms]]" storyline.

== Publication history ==
=== 1950s–1960s ===
The first ''Journey into Mystery'' series was initially a horror-fantasy anthology published by [[Marvel Comics]]' 1950s forerunner, [[Atlas Comics (1950s)|Atlas Comics]], with a first issue [[cover-dated]] June 1952.<ref>{{cite book|last1 = Brevoort|first1 = Tom|author-link1 = Tom Brevoort|last2= Gilbert|first2= Laura|chapter= 1950s|title = Marvel Chronicle A Year by Year History|publisher = [[Dorling Kindersley]]|date = 2008|location= London, United Kingdom|page = 53|isbn =978-0-7566-4123-8|quote= From a historical perspective, the most important title that Atlas released in 1952 was the first issue of ''Journey into Mystery''.}}</ref> Artist [[Joe Kubert]], who would later become one of the main [[war comics]] artists for [[DC Comics]], drew the story "The Hog" in ''Journey into Mystery'' #21 (January 1955).<ref>{{cite book|last = Schelly|first = Bill|author-link = Bill Schelly|title = The Art of Joe Kubert|publisher = [[Fantagraphics Books]]|year = 2011|location= Seattle, Washington|pages = 131–132|isbn = 978-1-60699-487-0}}</ref> Issue #23 was the first to be approved by the [[Comics Code Authority]], which led to restrictions on horror comics.  The title was caught in the collapse of Atlas' distributor, and publication was suspended for a year between issues #48 (Aug. 1957) and #49 (Nov. 1958).<ref>Brevoort "1950s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 71: "In November [1958], ''[[Marines in Battle]]'' ended in favor of a revival of ''Journey into Mystery'', one of Martin Goodman's steadiest mystery titles, which returned to the schedule after an absence of just over a year."</ref> [[Xemnu]], a huge, furry alien monster, first appeared in ''Journey Into Mystery'' #62 (Nov. 1960).<ref>[[Tom DeFalco|DeFalco, Tom]] "1960s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 79: "The lead story of [''Journey into Mystery''] issue #62, 'I Was a Slave of the Living Hulk', introduced a giant monster called the Hulk – similar in name only to the future Hulk."</ref> The character reappeared in issue #66 (March 1961).

Beginning with issue #83 (Aug. 1962), the title introduced the [[Norse god]] [[superhero]] [[Thor (Marvel Comics)|Thor]].<ref>DeFalco "1960s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 88: "[Stan Lee] had always been fascinated by the legends of the Norse gods and realized that he could use those tales as the basis for his new series centered on the mighty Thor."</ref> The anthological stories, by now primarily [[science fiction]]-fantasy, gradually diminished after this, with the Thor-spinoff backup feature "Tales of Asgard" beginning in issue #97 (Oct. 1963).<ref>DeFalco "1960s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 95: "These backup stories originally began with updated versions of Norse mythology, but later switched to the adventures of a younger Thor."</ref> They were dropped entirely with issue #105 (June 1964), when the "Thor" feature expanded from 13 to 18 pages. With the previous issue, the cover logo had changed to ''Journey into Mystery with the Mighty Thor''. Its final issue was #125 (Feb. 1966), after which the series was retitled ''The Mighty Thor'' in its [[trademark]]ed cover logo and simply ''Thor'' in its postal [[Indicia (publishing)|indicia]] [[copyright]] notice.<ref name=gcd1>{{gcdb series|id= 896|title= ''Journey into Mystery''}}</ref> Thor's evil adoptive brother [[Loki (Marvel Comics)|Loki]] was introduced in issue #85 (October 1962).<ref>DeFalco "1960s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 89</ref> Other adversaries for the new hero included the [[Radioactive Man (comics)|Radioactive Man]] introduced in #93 (June 1963),<ref>DeFalco "1960s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 92</ref> the [[Enchantress (Marvel Comics)|Enchantress]] and the [[Executioner (comics)|Executioner]] in #104 (April 1964),<ref>DeFalco "1960s" in Gilbert (2008), pp. 100-101</ref> the [[Absorbing Man]] in #114 (March 1965),<ref>DeFalco "1960s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 107</ref> and the [[Destroyer (Thor)|Destroyer]] in #118 (July 1965).<ref>DeFalco "1960s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 109</ref> An oversized [[annual publication]], featuring Thor, was released in 1965 and introduced the Marvel version of the [[Classical mythology|Greco-Roman demigod]] [[Hercules (Marvel Comics)|Hercules]].<ref>{{gcdb series|id= 1685|title= ''Journey into Mystery Annual''}}</ref><ref>DeFalco "1960s" in Gilbert (2008), p. 110: "Thor accidentally crashed through a mystical barrier and found himself in Olympus, the home of the Greek gods.

=== Volume 2 (1970s) ===
A second ''Journey into Mystery'' ran 19 issues (October 1972 – October 1975).<ref name=gcd1970s>{{gcdb series|id= 2052|title= ''Journey into Mystery'' vol. 2}}</ref> The title was one of four launched by Marvel Comics editor-in-chief [[Roy Thomas]] to form a line of science fiction and [[horror fiction|horror]] [[anthologies]] with more thematic cohesion than the company's earlier attempts that decade,<ref name="roach">{{cite news|last=Roach |first=David A. |author-link=David Roach (comics) |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080215031207/http://www.ohthehorror.com/wordsunknown/wordsunknown01.html |title=Shadows and The Darkness |publisher=[[Comic Book Artist]] via OhTheHorror.com |issue=13 |date=May 2001 |url=http://www.ohthehorror.com/wordsunknown/wordsunknown01.html |archive-date=February 15, 2008 |url-status=dead }}</ref> which had included the series ''[[Chamber of Darkness]]'' and ''[[Tower of Shadows]]''. Whereas those titles generally presented original stories, these new books would instead adapt genre classics and other stories. With the four titles' debuts set to be staggered over the course of four months, Marvel premiered ''Journey into Mystery'' vol. 2 (October 1972), ''[[Chamber of Chills]]'' (Nov. 1972), ''[[Supernatural Thrillers]]'' (Dec. 1972), and, with a late start, ''[[Worlds Unknown]]'' (May 1973).

The first five issues of ''Journey into Mystery'' vol. 2 featured such adaptations as [[Robert E. Howard]]'s "Dig Me No Grave", by writer Thomas and penciler [[Gil Kane]], in issue #1; [[Robert Bloch]]'s "Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper" by Thomas and [[Ron Goulart]] and penciler Kane, in #2; and [[H. P. Lovecraft]]'s "The Haunter of the Dark" by Goulart and penciler [[Gene Colan]], in addition to anthological horror stories by writers including [[George Alec Effinger]], [[Steve Gerber]], [[Steve Englehart]], and [[Steve Skeates]], and pencilers such as [[Billy Graham (comics)|Billy Graham]],  [[Jim Starlin]], [[Ralph Reese]], and [[P. Craig Russell]]. Most issues also included a reprinted story from Marvel's 1950s predecessor, [[Atlas Comics (1950s)|Atlas Comics]]. By issue #6, however, the magazine became a reprint title featuring science-fiction and giant-monster tales from the first ''Journey into Mystery'' series, as well as from the "[[pre-superhero Marvel]]" anthologies ''[[Amazing Adult Fantasy]]'', ''[[Strange Tales]]'', ''[[Strange Worlds (Atlas Comics)|Strange Worlds]]'', and ''[[Tales to Astonish]]''.<ref name=gcd1970s />

=== 1990s series ===
As a consequence of the company-wide crossover "[[Heroes Reborn (1996 comic)|Heroes Reborn]]", Thor ceased to be the focus of his own series, which was restored to ''Journey into Mystery'' beginning with issue #503 (Nov. 1996). The feature "The Lost Gods" ran through issue #513, followed by issues starring [[Shang-Chi]], Master of Kung Fu and the [[Black Widow (Natasha Romanova)|Black Widow]] for three issues each, and reluctant vampire [[Hannibal King]] for two, ending with issue #521 (June 1998).<ref name=gcd1990s>{{gcdb series|id= 7722|title= ''Journey into Mystery'' (1996 revival)}}</ref>

=== 2010s series ===
The ''Thor'' title resumed its original numbering in 2009 with ''Thor'' #600, including the intervening issues of ''Thor'' in its count while disregarding the 1990s ''Journey Into Mystery'' issues. Starting with issue #622, the series for a second time had its title restored to ''Journey Into Mystery'',<ref>{{gcdb series|id= 57209|title= ''Journey into Mystery'' (2011 revival)}}</ref> which accompanied the launch of a new title, ''Mighty Thor.''  Thor's supporting cast returned as the focus of a run written by [[Kieron Gillen]], who had written ''Thor'' from #604 to #614, and drawn by [[Doug Braithwaite]]. Starring was the Thor antagonist [[Loki (Marvel Comics)|Loki]], who had been reincarnated as a child following his sacrifice in the series ''[[Siege (comics)|Siege]]''.  Gillen's run was favorably reviewed,<ref>{{cite web|title = ''Journey into Mystery'' #645 Review|url = http://uk.ign.com/articles/2012/10/24/journey-into-mystery-645-review|date = October 24, 2012|access-date = October 31, 2012|first = Jesse|last = Scheeden|website = [[IGN]]|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20121029063621/http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/10/24/journey-into-mystery-645-review|archive-date = October 29, 2012|url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url = http://uk.ign.com/articles/2011/04/14/journey-into-mystery-622-review|title = ''Journey into Mystery'' #622 Review|website = IGN|first = Jesse|last = Scheeden|date = April 14, 2011|access-date = October 31, 2012|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20141129104325/http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/04/14/journey-into-mystery-622-review|archive-date = November 29, 2014|url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.avclub.com/three-marvel-series-go-meta-for-spectacular-finales-1798234490 |date=October 26, 2012 |first=Oliver |last=Sava |work=[[The A.V.

{{blockquote|Gillen's work has always been big on theme and interconnectedness, and this is no exception. The finale encapsulates the run as a whole — ambitious, ambiguous, clever and uncompromising, as challenging as it is entertaining. Sometimes those qualities hurt it, and although sales were never especially healthy it's to Marvel's credit that they helped keep it afloat long enough for a proper ending when the alternative would have surely been easier.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=user_review&id=5306 |title=''Journey into Mystery'' #645 |date=October 25, 2012 |access-date=October 31, 2012 |first=James |last=Hunt |website=[[Comic Book Resources]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130220075200/http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=user_review&id=5306 |archive-date=February 20, 2013 |url-status=live }} (Archive requires scrolldown and text blocking for visibility)</ref> }}

In Gillen's final issue, a letter from [[Tom Hiddleston]], who portrays Loki in the [[Marvel Cinematic Universe]], was published, in which he praised Gillen for his take on the character.

With issue #646, the focus of ''Journey into Mystery'' changed with its rebranding under the [[Marvel NOW!]] [[imprint (trade name)|imprint]]. Written by [[Kathryn Immonen]] and drawn by [[Valerio Schiti]], the series began starring the Marvel [[Asgard (comics)|Asgardians]], with the [[Sif (comics)|Lady Sif]] as its lead character.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=40445 |title=Immonen Leads Sif on a "Journey into Mystery" |date=August 14, 2012 |first=Josie |last=Campbell |website=Comic Book Resources |access-date=October 9, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121005124020/http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=40445 |archive-date=October 5, 2012 |url-status=live }}(Archive requires scrolldown)</ref> The series was cancelled with issue #655 (Oct. 2013).<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/06/14/marvel-cancels-journey-into-mystery|title= Marvel Cancels ''Journey Into Mystery'': No more ''JIM''?
