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.
A perennial favorite, this copy of Hulk #181 hits all of the marks, tight binding, razor sharp corners, and a light bright and immaculate illustration. The colors are always a pleasure to experience on this cover, but this example really shows off the intricacies of the background, and the red wash is even and unmarred by time. The Hulk is overdue for a new MCU appearance, and the rumors swirl around constantly regarding the X-Men’s introduction to the franchise, it goes without saying that, once a new Wolverine is cast, this comic will go through the roof, better get one now while you still can!
