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.

Value & Trends
  • Current: $5–$15 (VG/FN), $20–$40 (VF), $50–$80 (NM) on eBay/MyComicShop, with CGC 9.8 copies fetching $100–$150 due to Simonson’s art and key Asgardian characters. Newsstand editions may see a slight premium for scarcity.
  • Trends: Thor’s MCU prominence (Thor: Love and Thunder, 2022), Avengers: Secret Wars (2027) hype, and interest in Asgardian lore (Loki Season 2, 2023) could drive 10–15% price hikes in 6–12 months. High-grade copies may hit $100–$200 in 2–3 years if Balder, Karnilla, or Enchantress gain MCU focus. Comic-Con 2025 news could boost demand.
