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.

Incredible Hulk #181, the Action Comics #1 of the Bronze Age, introduced comic book readers to "The World's First and Greatest Canadian Superhero,” the Wolverine! This copy earned an amazing 9.4 CGC Universal Grade, with wonderful white pages. The iconic Herb Trimpe cover looks brilliant on this book, with sharp corners and rich colors. Wolverine jumps off the page here in his first appearance, wearing his classic yellow and black costume while breaking the chains around him. The Hulk and Wendigo both appear resplendent here as well. Wolverine is an all-time classic character and has appeared in countless comics, movies, cartoons, games, and more. He's not going away anytime soon. Another 9.4 copy recently sold for over $19,000. With the X-Men soon to be joining the highest-grossing film franchise of all time, how much will this copy be worth after the next generation of the MCU?
