Marvel Comics Essential Collection

Are there any collections of early Thor in color?

I am looking for the early Thor comics. I have only seen the Marvel Essentials but I worry about the lack of color. I don’t have enough cash to buy all the original comics, and I was wondering if there is a collection of early Thor in color?

Marvel has released seven volumes of Marvel Masterworks that collect Thor’s appearances from Journey Into Mystery #83 (his first appearance) up to Thor #162. It looks like Marvel releases about one volume a year so the next one should come out until in early 2009. Marvel Masterworks are basically the ultimate collector’s editions and feature full color artwork, but it unfortunately makes them quite expensive as well.

You can see the list of all seven volumes here:
