The Mighty Thor: The complete Yaffa cover gallery

Here's a cover gallery of my complete series of Yaffa's The Mighty Thor:

 #1, c.October 1977

 #2, c.March 1978

 #3, c.late 1978

#4, c.1980

 #5, c.April 1981

 #6, c.August 1981

 #7, c.October 1981

#8, c.early 1982

#NN, post mid 1982

The first three issues are regular/magazine-sized editions, the rest are digest-sized issues. #'s 7 and 8 are the taller digest-sized editions.

The dates noted above are approximations based on the little data to hand, and a little bit of informed guesswork too. I will update this information as it becomes available.

To the best of my knowledge this is the complete run of the series. There is scope for a #9 tall digest-sized edition to have been published but to this point I have not seen one. 

The unnumbered issue at the end of the gallery is a digest-sized recycled reprint of #1. It is possible that other issues in the series were recycled.

As you can see via the link to #7, 10 years ago I owned a single issue of this series. The rest have been purchased over the last 4 years. They have been substantially more expensive over the last 2 years.


Update 21 March 2024: My copy of The Mighty Thor #2 is stamped G&G JUN 1978, which suggests the publication date is c.March 1978.
