About the character

Who is The Hulk?

Dr. Bruce Banner transforms into a rampaging green giant whenever his anger peaks. One of Marvel's most psychologically rich characters, the Hulk is the embodiment of repressed rage.

What is a first appearance worth?

Premium — five-figure sums in high grade

The Incredible Hulk #1 is a genuinely valuable comic. Raw copies in low-to-mid grade typically trade in the hundreds; nicer, unrestored copies in the UK market often reach low to mid four figures, and CGC-certified high-grade examples can go significantly higher. Condition details — cover gloss, spine roll, page tanning — make a big difference. We are happy to assess any grade.
