Stan Lee and Jack Kirby kept the Marvel Age on a winning streak with the debut of Incredible Hulk #1, with the book becoming 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 (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 wasn't happy, however. He demanded a change after seeing the original 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 troubled hero and his alter-ego of Dr. Bruce Banner.
Incredible Hulk #1 is consistently one of the most valuable and sought-after of Silver Age
keys, as one of the most enduring of all Marvel characters, the Green Goliath’s premiere issue
