Thor #252 features a memorable battle between Thor and Ulik, one of Asgard's most formidable troll adversaries, while continuing the late Bronze Age Asgard saga written by Len Wein with artwork by John Buscema and a classic Jack Kirby cover. The issue also includes a "Tales of Asgard" backup story, making it an appealing entry for collectors of Thor's mythological adventures. This copy has been professionally graded CGC 9.6 White Pages and is noted as Second Highest Graded, an important distinction for registry collectors. While the issue is not a major first appearance, high-grade Bronze Age Thor books continue to see steady demand due to the popularity of the character, the strength of the creative team, and the relative scarcity of ultra-high-grade copies from the period. For collectors building a high-grade run of Bronze Age Thor, this book offers exceptional eye appeal with crisp colors, strong registration, and outstanding preservation. Registry collectors especially value books that sit just below the census high, as opportunities to acquire higher-graded examples are often extremely limited. This is an excellent addition to any CGC Registry set or Bronze Age Marvel collection.
