Highest Graded
Thor #165, is the issue that introduces the human form of the mysterious HIM, soon to be known as Adam Warlock, a major player in Marvel's cosmic universe, who will undoubtedly be joining the ranks of the MCU. First appearing in cocooned form in Fantastic Four #66 this "perfect human" emerges from his stasis and quickly draws the ire of the Thunder God by kidnapping his lady, Sif, and absconding with her somewhere across the universe. Thor gives chase, and that is where this classic key leaves off, but Warlock would return to assume a place of eminence amongst the Marvel rogue's gallery, famously in his own title, which was created by the multi-talented Jim Starlin, and later in something called the Infinity War, sound familiar?
Ranked at the very top of the census, this 9.8 graded copy is magnificent, unblemished blacks and glossy bright colors adorn this cover, with perfect registration, razor-sharp corners, stiff spine, and perfect staple placement, need I go on? This is one of the top five copies of Thor #165, investment bidders take heed because Adam Warlock is currently a very hot property who may lead the “Guardians of the Galaxy” movie franchise into the future.
