origin & 1st app of the Incredible Hulk; Kirby cover & art; 1st app of Betty Ross, Rick Jones, and General "Thunderbolt" Ross; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 10 (CBI)


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 his place as one of Marvel's most beloved characters.

Since the release of “Captain America: Brave New World,” the Hulk has been back in fashion. Although the Red Hulk in the film was not the OG green/gray goliath, he still appears on the cover of this Silver Age key in the form of General Ross, connecting it to the film and drawing attention back to this important issue. Consistently a popular and valuable auction draw, the first appearance of the Hulk has been one of the top SA Marvel collectibles for years. This FN- copy boasts an intense color palette and solid structural integrity, presenting eye appeal above its designated grade. This comic is a hot property at present, and it stands to reason that the Hulk will soon appear in the MCU once again as Phase Six picks up steam.
