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.
Bearing the stamp of quality from QES, this is one impressive copy of the first appearance of one of Marvel’s top properties, The Incredible Hulk. This issue has proven to be one of the most valuable keys of the Marvel Age, and with many rumors about the Hulk’s resurgence in the MCU, and a Disney+ She-Hulk series, things have never looked brighter for a bump up in value for this already formidable book. Your friends will be green (or gray) with envy if you happen to have the patience and determination to land this attractive copy. Noted by QES for an impressive prime focal area, sharp right edge with no chipping, and deep color strike, this is a perfect target for bidders searching for this classic comic but finding themselves outgunned for top-tier copies.
Overstreet Guide 2022 VF- (7.5) value = $54,925.
