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)
Stan Lee and Jack Kirby kept their Marvel Age hot streak running with the big and brutal Hulk, with Incredible Hulk #1 becoming another vital Silver Age key that's remained a top collectible. In addition to introducing readers to Dr. Bruce Banner and his brutal alter-ego, Incredible Hulk #1 marks the first appearances of Betty Ross, Rick Jones, and General "Thunderbolt" Ross (the latter set to remain a major part of the Disney+ Marvel Universe). The iconic cover image continues to resonate with fans to this day.

Stan Lee demanded a change after the botched coloring process for this book. 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 troubled hero and his alter-ego of Dr. Bruce Banner.

This copy of Incredible Hulk #1 carries a miraculous 9.8 grade from CBCS with white pages. This beautiful book contains the first appearances of the Hulk, Rick Jones, General Ross, & Betty Ross. This copy was professionally restored with extensive color touch, pieces added to the cover, the cover and centerfold reinforced, spine splits sealed, tear seals to cover and interior, cover cleaned and reglossed, staples replaced, and the interiors lightened. The restoration was extensive, but highly successful, resulting in such a fantastically high grade. Although restoration may slightly detract from the value, nothing can detract from the historic importance of this book. With countless MCU appearances, multiple movies and shows, and an upcoming Disney+ She-Hulk show, the Incredible Hulk is a permanent part of pop culture.
