Thor #252

In "A Dragon at the Gates!", Thor faces a dual threat as he battles both a fearsome dragon and the cunning giant Ulik, driven by a desperate need to uncover clues about his missing father, Odin. Written by Len Wein and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema and Tony DeZuniga, this 1976 issue delivers a classic clash of myth and might, with lettering by Joe Rosen and Gaspar Saladino and coloring by Glynis Wein. The cover, a striking collaboration by Jack Kirby, John Romita, and inks by John Verpoorten, captures the epic scale of the confrontation.
