Hi All!

Up for bidding is one of the biggest key books of the silver age, the first appearance and book of the incredible hulk! Very in demand book and with so few copies of this gem available, you shouldn't pass it up!

This book is CGC graded as 6.0 (F) with perfect WHITE pages!!! This book looks much higher than a 6.0 in my opinion, the grade is being pulled down due to some marvel chipping on the right side of the front cover. WIthout the chipping, I would give this book a VF- or VF grade!!

Shipping will be included, and I'll send USPS priority which is 2-3 days typically anywhere in the US. International buyers will have to inquire about purchasing this book (and associated shipping costs)

A great book to add to any serious collector's portfolio OR simply a good investment to put in the closet as a diversified investment!

This book has only gone up for the last decades and will continue to do so!

Good luck bidding and be sure to ask questions and check out my other auctions. I have other key comics for sale and coming up on ebay (including Amazing Fantasy 15, Spider-man 1, Hulk 1, Fantastic Four 1, Showcase 22, Avengers 1 and Many Many More)

I will accept paypal (for more expensive books, other arrangements may be worked out at buyer's discretion)

Thanks for looking and be sure to add me as a favorite seller, plenty more big books coming!

Description:

The Incredible Hulk #1 (Marvel, 1962) CGC VF- 7.5 Off-white to white pages. It's one of the hardest issues to find in high grade among the early Marvel Age keys. And key it is, with the origin and first appearance of the Hulk, and first appearances of Rick Jones, Betty Ross, and Thunderbolt Ross. The Jack Kirby cover and those cover text balloons are legend! Kirby also handled the interior art for this premiere issue.

The Page:

ORIGINAL COMIC PAGE STEVE DITKO HULK #6 PAGE 3 1963

HULK SMASH.

He didn't really talk that way at this point. He just more of a jerk, than a dumb, SMASHING brute. Cool page, yo.

ACTION COMICS #24 ~ Vintage Superman Comic ~ CGC 8.0

Early Action Comics on eBay. You know I'm going to link to that.

Iron Man 55 CGC 9.8 NM/M White pg 1st Thanos Starlin

I should get a nice 9.4 of this book. I've got no interest in playing the 9.8 game here, but a nice 9.4 would do me nicely. (Runs to GPA) $400? Heck yeah. That's a plan.

HULK Issue 396 page #13 by DALE KEOWN

Two hulk pages on on Friday. I'm game. Especially since they're at the far end of the spectrum in terms of style. I loved Keown's run on this book. It was a blast each and every month.

WOLVERINE/WITCHBLADE #1 Pg.15 M. TURNER ORIGINAL ART!!!

I link to Mike Turner's art. 'nuff said.

Well, if I had a hard time coming up with five last week, this week was just the opposite. What a crazy collection of books on offer this week.

Adventure Comics 40 CGC 8.5 VF+ EP 1st app Sandman RARE

Filter81 leads off this week with Adventure 40. Sure it's EP, but it's an Adventure 40. Not too many of those come up for sale, so it's a treat to see them whenever they do appear.

JACK KIRBY SILVER SURFER GRAPHIC NOVEL ORIGINAL ART

That Jack Kirby guy was pretty good. A Kirby page with the Surfer on it- I approve.

Incredible Hulk 4 CGC 9.2 NM- OW/W Marvel High Grade

I have a soft spot for Hulk 1-6. I never collected the later series, but I love Hulk #1-6.

MICHAEL GOLDEN DOCTOR STRANGE 55 ORIGINAL ART

This is truly classic Michael Golden art. I love Doctor Strange when he's done well, and for my money Doctor Strange 55 is basically as good as it gets. Just check out the page in question:

Detective Comics #225 DC 1955 Batman 1st App Martian M.

Fact: if you list a Detectivve 225 on eBay I will list it in Five for Friday.

Really nice looking copy. Color touch be damned, someone is going to be happy with that book.

Winning bid: US $6,100.00 Seller: bijoubaby05 ( 113 )

Description:

Incredible Hulk #1

Features: 1st Appearance of the Incredible Hulk
Grade: In my opinion this comic is in 9.0 shape. There is a small amount of color touch on the cover of the comic. It doesn't detract anything away from this beautiful comic.
Page Quality: Off-White/White

And the book:

Hulk 371 pg20

He might make a few more bucks if he mentioned that it was by Dale Keown.

Superman #1 cgc 7.5 ext (P) OW/White 1939 Original copy

Sure, it's Extensive. Still… it's a Superman #1.

BARRY SMITH!!! Conan #1 page!!! Fight with demon!!!

Conan #1 art. That's super cool.

Adventure 40 cgc 8.0 Moderate (P) cr to ow pgs Sandman!

Tough, key Golden Age book. If it was more sought after it would be through the roof value-wise. Very tough to find.

Batman #1 1940 Golden Age..Nice!

I'm weird in that I think Batman #1 is undervalued. Sue me.

Green Lantern #1 (DC, 1960) CGC NM 9.4

Green Lantern's recent meteoric rise bums me out. I was buying some Green Lanterns, and then, along came the movie blowing prices up on the really good stuff. Case in point, this book. This exact copy sold for 18,975.00 at Heritage in 2003. Recently, a 9.2 of this book sold for $30,450.00. What does that result mean for this 9.4? Hopefully some crazy number north of $50k.

The Incredible Hulk #1 (Marvel, 1962) CGC VF- 7.5

I like think of Hulk #1 as an honorary DC. Not the character, I can't think of a more "Marvel" character than the Hulk, but the book itself. It's tough. The census numbers are very reminiscent of the Silver Age DC key and not like most of the other the Marvel keys at all. There are just a handful of nice copies out there.

This one isn't particularly nice, but it's still nice enough to feature. Especially since I do have a Hulk bias… I love that guy.

AMAZING FANTASY #15 CURATOR PEDIGREE CGC 9.0 VFNM

This will clearly be the headline book as Amazing Fantasy continues to generate ridiculous results. $135,000 as of this writing.

X-MEN #1 CGC 9.4

So is a 9.4 X-Men #1 really a 100k book? This one is at 70k right now.

INCREDIBLE HULK #1 CGC 9.0 VFNM

I'll never tire of Hulk #1. Apaprently neither will collectors.

SHOWCASE #4 CGC NM- 9.2

This won't sell for what it should. Showcase #4 needs to see some of the love that Showcase #22 has seen over the past few years so that it can get it's rightful place near the top of the Silver Age tables back. It's never going to tbe the #1 book again, or even #2, but it should be a strong #3.

SUPERMAN #1 CGC 2.0

It'll be interesting to compare results on this and Heritage's copy.

DETECTIVE COMICS #1

A book I love. I'll never tire of that red cover.

SHOWCASE #22 CGC 8.5 VF+

I shudder to think what this book will sell for, especially since I was in the market for a copy in this range a few years ago

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #17 CGC 9.8

Obscene amount of money? Maybe. Anything for a Spider-man book is too much in my opinion (I kid!)

PELLUCIDAR PAINTING JEFFREY JONES

Gorgeous, no?

Scoop is reporting that Doug sold a CGC VF/NM Hulk #1 for $100,000. With all of these Marvel keys getting into six figures my head is starting to spin.
