Israeli Edition (1982); origin & 1st app of the Incredible Hulk; Kirby cover & art; 1st app of Betty Ross, Rick Jones, and General "Thunderbolt" Ross;Inspired by Jekyll & Hyde and the myth of the Golem, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby kept their Marvel Age hot streak running with the big and brutal Hulk. This issue preys on Cold War fears of nuclear annihilation to create one of the most haunting and affecting of hero origins. Initially colored gray in his premiere appearance, the Hulk was quickly reworked into a big green beast when the primitive four-color printing process mangled the character’s color scheme throughout the book, altering the Goliath's hue from page to page. The iconic cover image still resonates with fans to this day.

Recent International Variant Sales of Hulk #1 have exploded in demand with the Israeli Kevin Comics variant arguably the rarest of all. But with less than 20 copies in the CGC census, and only five in higher grades than this copy, it is truly a special find! We recently sold a Hulk #1 from Israel graded CBCS 4.5 for over $4,000. We expect this one to demand considerably more, with an estimated value of $6,000 to $7,500.
