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 famous cover image still resonates with fans today, be its protagonist green or gray. A paragon of the Silver Age, Incredible Hulk #1 captures the hearts of readers, collectors, and new fans alike. This copy is in spectacular shape with the rich tones of the blue background highlighting the iconic gray Hulk looming over the horrified Bruce Banner and awed onlookers. This 7.0 CGC-graded copy has off-white pages and very sturdy construction with great eye appeal. Consistent growth in the value of this comic is a virtual guarantee and investment-grade copies like this one will be hotly contested at auction.
