Incredible Hulk #1 really is the first appearance of the Hulk, as Stan Lee and Jack Kirby made new strides into the Marvel Age — creating yet another Silver Age key and top collectible. In addition to introducing readers to Dr. Bruce Banner and his brutal alter-ego, this timeless classic marks the first appearances of Betty Ross, Rick Jones, and General "Thunderbolt" Ross. (General Ross, of course, becomes a major part of the MCU with Harrison Ford's big-screen turn in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World .)
The iconic cover image continues to resonate with fans to this day. Stan Lee, however, wasn't happy. He demanded a change after seeing the botched coloring process for the Hulk's debut. The second issue would change the Hulk from a blotchy gray to his green-skinned glory. Hulk would then survive his own title’s quick cancellation to keep thrilling comics fans, eventually coming back with a top-selling book and a hit '70s television show. From there, the Hulk’s return to the big-screen Avengers reignited the public’s passion for both the unlikely hero and his alter-ego of Dr. Banner. Fans are currently engaging in heated speculation over the Hulk's expected turns in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars, ensuring the character's place as one of Marvel's most beloved characters.
________________________________________________ Incredible Hulk #1 is universally recognized as one of the key comics of the Silver Age, it remains one of the most valuable books of the era and is consistently a target for investment collectors. With the release of Captain America: Brave New World coming to theaters soon, there is sure to be renewed attention focused on this origin issue as the film will feature the first cinematic appearance of the popular Red Hulk, voiced by the inimitable Harrison Ford. This mid-grade copy offers exceptional eye appeal, the colors are vibrant and the construction is sturdy. This is an important Silver Age key that any serious collector should have in their portfolio.
