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.
Essentially the Action #1 of the Bronze Age, this is a stunning copy to be sure. The cover, which presents the first full appearance of Wolverine, facing off against The Hulk and Wendigo, is so incredibly crisp, all of the colors are remarkable. From the red background to the white text to Wolvie’s classic yellow and blue uniform, and let’s not forget the wonderful hues of The Hulk's emerald skin. This copy is as fresh and vibrant as most newly published books sitting on shelves today. Wolverine is one of the most well-known comic characters of the last 50 years, as the beloved antihero continues to appear in countless movies, TV shows, video games, comics, and other media, new generations of fans are constantly drawn to Incredible Hulk #181. This is a beautiful copy of one of the most sought-after and readily available keys of all time.
Overstreet Guide 2022 NM- (9.2) value = $12,000.
