Atlas Comics is the successor to Timely Comics and the precursor to Marvel Comics, and Journey into Mystery is the magazine where <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thor_(Marvel_Comics)\">The Mighty Thor<\/a> makes his debut a decade later.  For now, Journey into Mystery is just another horror anthology comic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do love seeing magazines like Journey into Mystery and Strange Tales make their debut as it ties my reading into the future &#8220;Marvel Age&#8221; even if there is no in-story continuity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow, my 500th entry!
