Journey Into Mystery is a comic book series published by Marvel Comics that began as a supernatural horror/fantasy anthology comic that eventually transitioned into a superhero comic.
== History ==
Journey Into Mystery first appeared in newsstands in 1952, published by Atlas Comics, the forerunner to Marvel Comics. The series was one of many produced as a response to the increased popularity of horror comic titles, particularly those of EC Comics, a contemporary company known for their popular horror series. One of the more noted stories was in issue #21 called "The Hog", as it was written and drawn by Joe Kubert, who would become well-known for his war comics with DC Comics. By issue #23, the book took on the seal of the Comics Code Authority, which restricted horror comics material. The series would be less focused on horror (though there were still takes of the supernatural) and more on fantasy and science fiction.
After issue #48 in August of 1957, the title was suspended for a over a year due to the collapse of Atlas Comics' distributor and returned in November of 1958. More stories focused on giant monsters, similar to the ones that appeared in science fiction films of the era, with stories and characters (such as the villain Xemnu the Titan) would later be folded into the Marvel Universe, the shared universe focused primarily on superhero fiction).
