1st full Wolverine app; Marvel Value Stamp #54 (Shanna); Herb Trimpe cover & art; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 10 (CBI)This issue marks Wolverine’s first full appearance as the breakout character of Marvel's Bronze Age—as seen when a copy of Incredible Hulk #181 became the first Bronze Age book to break the $100,000 sales mark. Wolverine would go on to become of the biggest pop-culture icons of the past fifty years, with the character reviving the X-Men title as he joined the mutant super team in the ’70s. The ensuing decades have seen Wolverine becoming one of Marvel's most potent weapons in creating hot spin-off titles and guest turns. Wolverine also continues to rule the cinemas, with fans already buzzing over Hugh Jackman’s hotly anticipated return to the character in 2024’s Deadpool 3.
This copy of Incredible Hulk #1 is in remarkable condition, there are barely any visible defects and the colors are as bright as the day they were printed, from the subtle tones of the landscape in the background to the textures of the Hulk's skin, the hues are sumptuous. Hugh Jackman's Wolverine is slated to make an appearance in “Deadpool 3” in 2024 which will undoubtedly earn this comic another bounce in value, just one more reason to own the top book of the Bronze Age. A 9.2 copy of Incredible Hulk #181 sold for $9,900 in June 2023.
