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 introduced comic book readers to "The World's First and Greatest Canadian Superhero.” This book earned an amazing 9.6 grade, with white pages. The iconic Herb Trimpe cover design presents brilliantly on this copy, with sharp corners and rich colors. Wolverine seems to jump off the page here in his first appearance, wearing his classic yellow and black costume while breaking the chains that bind him. The Hulk and Wendigo are both resplendent here as well. With the X-Men soon to be joining the highest-grossing film franchise of all time, how much will this copy be worth after their premiere in the MCU? An Incredible Hulk #181 9.6 sold for $21,081 in July 2023.

Overstreet Guide 2023 NM- (9.2) value = $12,000.
