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.

Having appeared in countless comics, cartoons, videogames, and movies, Wolverine is one of the most popular comic-book characters of all time. This copy of Incredible Hulk #181, Wolverine's first full appearance, earned a CGC 9.2, with off-white to white pages. This iconic Herb Trimpe cover looks incredibly beautiful here, with a sharp red background staging the battle between Hulk, Wolverine, and the Wendigo. A 9.2 copy recently sold for $19,800. With increasing rumors of the X-Men joining the MCU, this comic has plenty of room to grow in the next few years.

Overstreet Guide 2021 NM- (9.2) value = $8,000.
