Thor (1966) #260 – Thor’s Asgardian Clash with Balder and Karnilla!
Thor (1966) #260 (June 1977), written by Len Wein with pencils by Walt Simonson and inks by Tony DeZuniga, is an action-packed Bronze Age issue. In Asgard, Balder the Brave and Karnilla, the Norn Queen, face off against the formidable duo of the Executioner and the Enchantress in a brutal battle. Thor enters the fray, but is shockingly forced to fight against his brother-in-arms, complicating the conflict with divided loyalties. Len Wein’s story weaves intense Asgardian drama, intricate alliances, and high-stakes action, showcasing Thor’s heroism amid betrayal. Walt Simonson’s early pencils, paired with DeZuniga’s inks, deliver stunning visuals of Asgard’s mythic battles and emotional tension, making this a standout issue in the Thor series.
