White Mountain CopyIncredible Hulk #2 provides a second first appearance for the beloved brute that became a pop-culture hero. Stan Lee demanded a change after a botched printing process for Incredible Hulk #1, changing the Hulk from a blotchy gray to the character's green-skinned glory. The key character would 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.
Displaying sharp edges and a super stiff spine, the overall construction of this comic is quite impressive. When you add in the brilliant hues that stand out in strong contrast to the gray background, you have yourself one humdinger of a Hulk #2, which hails from the respected White Mountain pedigree. Check out the subtle orange and brown tones on the Toad Men while the newly emerald-skinned Hulk breaks through a steel wall like it was made of tin foil. The color change on the Hulk may have been the key to the character’s eventual rise to greatness, and additional chromatic iterations in the future notwithstanding, red, gray, green, whatever the color, the Hulk is one of the most important goliaths of superhero history.
