Kirby cvr/art; 1st app. of Tyrannus & Gen. Fang (1/63)Incredible Hulk #5 was the last issue of the original Hulk run drawn by co-creator, Jack Kirby, and it features a truly bombastic cover, showing the Green Goliath breaking through a concrete wall like it was a flimsy cardboard box. The stories contained within the rampaging cover see the Hulk doing battle with such illustrious Kirby villains as the Ancient Roman-styled Tyrannus and the fiendish commie General Fang. Needless to say, the duo of bad guys find out the hard way that it's not easy beating green, and are vanquished in smashing style by our Gargantuan Golem. MCU fans are eagerly awaiting the return of the Hulk and, typically, when a new Marvel movie is released, the comic market invariably sees an uptick in interest and value in the featured heroes.
The awesome power of the Hulk is on full display on this classic Kirby cover, check out the yellows and shades of green that highlight his skin on this well-preserved cover. With only a handful grading higher up the census this is a really spectacular example of the Green Goliath’s last solo appearance for quite some time. Smooth greys highlight the coterie of Kirby creations in the background, and the sturdy spine and overall upkeep are impressive to say the least.
Overstreet Guide 2019 NM- (9.2) value = $5,800.
