Incredible Hulk #1 really is the first appearance of the Hulk, as Stan Lee and Jack Kirby made new strides into the Marvel Age — creating becoming yet another Silver Age key and top collectible. In addition to introducing readers to Dr. Bruce Banner and his brutal alter-ego, this timeless classic marks the first appearances of Betty Ross, Rick Jones, and General "Thunderbolt" Ross. (General Ross, of course, becomes a major part of the MCU with Harrison Ford's big-screen turn in the upcoming Captain America: Brave New World .)
The iconic cover image continues to resonate with fans to this day. Stan Lee, however, wasn't happy. He demanded a change after seeing the botched coloring process for the Hulk's debut. The second issue would change the Hulk from a blotchy gray to his green-skinned glory. Hulk would then 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 unlikely hero and his alter-ego of Dr. Banner.

Bearing the stamp of quality from QES, this is one impressive copy of the first appearance of one of Marvel’s top properties, The Incredible Hulk. This issue has proven to be one of the most valuable keys of the Marvel Age, and with many rumors about the Hulk’s resurgence in the MCU, and a Disney+ She-Hulk series about to launch, things have never looked brighter for a bump up in value for this already formidable book. Your friends will be green (or grey) with envy if you happen to have the patience and determination to land this attractive copy. The colors are extremely strong on this glossy cover, and the prime focal area is in an admirable state of preservation. A perfect copy for bidders searching for this classic comic but find themselves outgunned at the higher grades.
Overstreet Guide 2021 FN- (5.5) value = $17,187.
