Incredible Hulk #181 — featuring the first full appearance of Wolverine taking on the Hulk — is only rivaled by the Punisher's debut in Amazing Spider-Man #129 as the top collectible of the Marvel Bronze Age. These classic comics bookended 1974 with the introduction of anti-heroes who became two of the comic industry's most beloved figures. That was further illustrated when a copy of Incredible Hulk #181 became the first Bronze Age book to break the $100,000 sales mark.
Wolverine quickly stole the show in an already impressive two-part story arc involving the Wendigo. The scrappy and brutal brawler was an instant fan favorite. Marvel then wisely found the character a home in the revamped X-Men of 1976, with Wolverine going on to become a uniquely complicated and spiritual protagonist.
Wolverine also became one of Marvel's most potent weapons for sales-inspiring guest turns and hot spin-off titles. It was no surprise when Hugh Jackman found overnight stardom with the role in 2000's big-screen X-Men film. 25 years later, Wolverine remains one of the hottest figures in both comics and film — as further confirmed when Jackman returned for the massive success of 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine.
