Set Description:
Wolverine under copies, and in the complete Hulk vs Wolverine story, you have the Wendigo as well! The Hulk is still in the goings on of today's world, down through the ages, the Hulk is still considered a leap forward! Some might even consider him some radioactive waste, needing to be disposed of! The Hulk all washed up? No, that Green Fanatic will keep smashing, until his pants turn purple and ripped in the headlines. This accident that produces the Hulk will have the repercussions as if it were even a drum solo by the drummer from the band RUSH.
Big Green Machine! Needing no more than to be mean when he gets around to emotions, that transformation has the gleam in his eye to make any bad guy cry! Ah the Hulk it is thy Destiny within the episodes!
Legacy building is in the wheelhouse for any collection! It can come by way of there being so many issues in order to become complete! With any encouragement it is considered to not be impossible but in just collecting to collect. Not all will fall by the wayside, and save yourself the love of the hobby to not feel out gunned nor out gamma rayed by the end of those reads that bring you some, "Hulk Mad!" "HULK SMASH!" With bulging eyes and strained muscles, the Incredible Hulk usually has an easy go of it, but he can still feel the sorrow when he messes up. Such are the examples of living out those heroics that often can seem by chance when so dumbfounded in brute strength! By leaps and bounds it can play out high above the rest on a mountain top or below in the valley, in the by and by where he takes up the morals to be inspiring and taken to school wherein are some lessons we are taught in comics, comics, comics.

Continued from Tales to Astonish #101 Warriors Three, Enchantress and Odin appearance. Origin of Hulk retold. Happy! Even in 2.5 CGC it is an established book and a caveat to the collection. A needed one and an origin of the Hulk, retold! Indeed sometimes we take what we can get, and that classic style cover of the Bruce Banner transition into the Hulk is all that I needed to seal the deal. I love that the greenish cover is more due to the Incredible Hulk, rather than the "background!" I got this from Dave and Adams website at $128 shipped, although I bought it on a Friday and it showed sold on ebay the next day. We'll see on the following Monday, if it is secured and mine! Sometimes the Internet and weekend working hours are a madhouse. I'm longing to add pics of the slab to round out my registry of Hulk for my collection. What-What!!
Complete with a back cover picture of the one that started the trend for me in DVD form. Let's say, a run of embellishments to curate a steward of comics came from seeing the awesome fight in quick flashes of the moving pictures!

staple detached top of spine;

1st appearance of Wendigo. An Upgrade! I'm Much Appreciative to find this in the wild and be a "thriftier shopper" as a newcomer back to the hobby. I am glad to find it cheap enough early on in my collecting about 2016-17. It really encouraged me! It is again the Wendigo issue with mystical references and a whole lot of the Hulk. This book has not been pressed, it was a straight sub. I'm super happy to have an 8.5 in the newer case. A perfect affordable entry. Probably a Pressable Candidate, but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, ha! It's all good in the book of decent finds, with timing, my prayer always. I bought it raw for $15 from my favorite DVD store, and the cost to slab back then was only like $20. I sent it in through Titan Comics, as at the time I didn't have my own membership to CGC. I still was learning to grade, and it made me feel confident when I nailed it!
Complete with a back cover picture of the tote bags given away at the prescreen of, "Dune: Part 2!" Toting the imprint of the film on the bag and alluding to thriftier shopping till you drop in the wild! The film even shows off with wild beasts that need to be tamed, behemoths even, but this time it is worms, instead of Wendigo. The film had its own type of talisman, such as Wendigo had, with the Dunes' "water of life!"

Under copy, 1st wolverine but in cameo on last page. I bought this for more than it was worth at the time off of eBay, at $225 around the year 2017 or 2018. It has since been worth it! There is a lot that goes into making a purchase, both online and in store. This acquisition was back when eBay didn't charge sales tax either! The Hulk at the end of his rope with Wendigo discovers the Wolverine may be there to even things out! Is Wolverine friend? or Foe? This issue made me want to read #181! Off-White to White pages again, at least I'm consistent. I've got to give credit to staying focused on buying Wolverine, yes, I have doubles, but back when everything was "more affordable", you could pick your favorite character to collect. Everyone's budget is different, I'm just grateful! Times will prove to be generous, with others proving faithful, it leads to following example!
Complete with a statue portraying the Wolverine splash page of 1st cameo, by Bowen, as a back cover pic! I say that but in #180 the claws are in the air upward, and his costume is blue! This statue still shows it well, as in before the leap towards Hulk and Wendigo!

(The Grail) 1st full appearance of the Wolverine! The one that meant the most to me when getting back into the collecting game. I didn't quite miss the financial boat to deem it worthy, but it'll be worth it to me to own the first blow out story of The Wolverine interrupting the battle between the Hulk and the Wendigo. I got this as my 1st purchase from Dale Roberts website, it even arrived with the slab broke. Dale was good on the price of having it reholdered (for free), and I'm forever grateful! This particular grade to me, despite my issue having some foxing on the back, means the world to me! The front cover with a picture of The Wolverine and the Hulk in battle presents well with no distractions! The onlooker of Wendigo saying, "I thought we were giving it a go!?" Breaking chains and new feats, while the Wolverine also comes for his slice of the fight!
Complete with a back cover picture of this awesome "The Wolverine vs the Hulk" Sideshow statue, as the perfect companion to the 1st Wolvie issues. I'm Excited to own it, although the comics I traded for it were steep! Got to have some dedication to my main man Logan.
Grader Notes:
crease left center of front cover;
foxing full left of back cover;
foxing right bottom of back cover;

Roy Thomas Sketched and Signed 12/17/2020, SS Len Wein 11/23/13 and Herb Trimpe on 1/29/12 I needed a copy of this signed and witnessed by these legendary creators, and which were big contributors to my collection. I almost missed my chance. Since I've got this, I've since sold a copy of this issue only signed by Len Wein but in higher grade. I have other Len Wein signature series, and I'm comfortable with this addition even at CGC 6.5. I am humble to have these signatures together, it means that I can have a piece of History. An Affordable Piece of History! Yes, I finally had one pressed, but usually only due to the in-house signings of late, as I can't be parted with my books to do it normally. Even these cameos are getting the love from collectors, which early on it was unsure just how much! CCS pressed it! Multiple dents on back are unfortunate, but given the rest of the condition, I can live!
Complete with extraction point prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "Mile 22!" Starring Mark Wahlberg that needs, much like the Wolverine in Hulk issues #180-181, to escort a high priority asset to a rendezvous point for official government business. Weapon X mentioned in these Hulk issues from the "government", espionage?

Center Back Cover Multiple Indent;

1st Quasar, randomly within the Hulk Series, this cover has the Hulk literally taking the roof off! Quasar is a character that gets some development later, but he ends up teaching reproductive interpretation's... I won a VF- raw copy of this for free from Duncanville bookstore. They run name drawn from a hat prizes, for buying from them, which is always a plus. I knew once I won, that I wanted a more presentable copy, and that cover of tearing a building (I believe the college Berkeley dorm) is astonishing in concept and delivery. For sure one of the best inspirations for a book in my collection in recent memory. It is nice to see feats of strength, and this book delivers. Always make sure to look for high grade Hulks. Yes, indeed. Good Times!! The Hulk will soon be battling the "Leader" in this run and will need his wits about him.
Complete with a back cover picture of a Marvel Card, as CGC now does those, of Hulk vs Leader because Hulk learned to lead himself from experience! "The Leader" is the arch nemesis of the Incredible Hulk, which is the next probable major plot, in #281-284.

1st Rocket Raccoon. A Newsstand. Movies, a group, a wise cracker, amd a best friend who's an adorable piece of dancing living tree. The raccoon has potential, and he's always up for the challenge, when it's in his best interest. He 1st got his start in a magazine distribution, Marvel Preview, I think. It definitely didn't stop there, though probably forgotten for the longest time. The MCU can make a hit out of anything. The comics had substance but were a flash in the pan at the time. We've got another wise cracker. If only we can get some quality solo stories. He needs a team usually. He can still deliver on his own ambitions for sure, as he is out for himself, but keeps his options open for others. I got a hat to commemorate! Guardians is the nostalgia swing, but Hulk sharing the travels with the racoon was an out of the park hit and run when the movie swung for the fences. Here is to being a kid again!
Complete with a back cover picture of a hat from the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 prescreen before it hit theaters. In sharing a hash tag at the event for proof that we were there and liked it, ha! Sure, it's only an iron on of the logo on front and one of the namesakes of the movie Vol. 3 on back, but I'll take it! My Brother and his friend went with me, and we enjoyed the frivolous guy's night out!

Hulk #340 The Green-Eyed Monster Vs the Wolverine, Hulkster Hulking out against the Berserker! No this isn't a "Clerks" film, this is McFarlane art, who would parody and or homage himself to kingdom come. This is the brawler letting loose of the rearview mirror and keeping the slugfest of potential in the cover. Come ringside and don't sit on your tuffet, make those moves, but do not fool yourself. It takes time for the reader to visualize these behemoths colliding, and don't strain yourself or your eyes will bulge out. Making it a heart decision for out of it flows the issues of life! Sometimes the blindness of rage is only simmered by the exhaustion of dueling with precision to keep that edge! Three claws drawn and down the backside of what could be reminiscent of a nuclear bomb. Time has come to fight the wallet spending for this collector too! LOL.
Complete with back cover picture of the card stock of the 90's similar in attraction, the Wolverine as an animal out in the killzone! Some good has to come from those card days of collecting, I'll keep them handy!

light bends to cover;

Good Ole' "Professor Hulk!" Probably not the "1st that Hulk has proven himself smart!" Indeed, it is the Hulk wisdom that I was after with this issue, with a almost classic cover and issue. Like Billy the Kid said in Young Guns II, "I'll make you famous!?!" This issue's cover gets around, and much to everyone's surprise has a niche collectors' way. The Hulk now able to speak not grunt, calculate not impulse, and to keep it together with a more focused and purposed will, has us all up in arms for the possibilities of the market in media. Could you imagine the Hulk teaching morals? How about intentionally? These are the stories, and I don't write the jokes. I'm just as shocked at the ability to introduce it into the Avengers movie. Still, the possibility is there, if someone were so inclined to make something of it. A "fiddler in Georgia" could calm the Hulk? Not in this lifetime, still the Hulk smasher could be a friend for life!
Complete with a back cover picture of the big green machine as it was meant to be on the cover! Classics that got him to jump and grunt, all the while he is leaping and leaving craters. ISSUE #289, THE INCREDIBLE HULK!! Given to me as an add on in the holiday boards raffle in January 2023 by Motor City Rob boardie!

Sweet! 1st Red Hulk with a Michael Turner cover! Wizard World 2008 Edition. I got this in the 2019 Boards Holiday Raffle! From JazzMan the boardie! I'm Happy for his generosity, and the fun of the Holidays. Adding to my Michael Turner cover's is always fun. Still gearing up this year and for another raffle and looking back this was just a fun pick-up. I don't own much Turner, but they're cool, variant or not. To cap it all off while awaiting the return from CGC and the Red Hulk is coming to fruition. We may have only these books for nostalgia for a while. He's the Red Breed and he's the heat from the mean streets! We need the movies and to put some footage in the can. Roll camera, action! The muscular redness is cruising for a bruising. Hulk Mad, Angry EVEN! Red with the drive to put the emotion to the test like a blur of smashing success to come?
Complete with back cover picture of issue #2, possibly a first full, but an appearance of Red Hulk, nonetheless. Indeed, there is a person with "bomb" in their name in issue #2, who might be a character of note!

Titan HULK! COMING SOON. Is it in the rearview mirror yet? Bruce is taking the Hulk to "his utmost potential!" By securing him as a "Mecha!" Complete with remote control, to make the nuclear-powered apparatus of his dreams a reality. Telling the Hulk that it is up to him to stop the transition, otherwise he might "fall into enemy hands." This is not new, as described by the Hulk and Banner, only the avenue by which it is being achieved. Soon to come, and with an Ottley cover, I'm glad for the addition, in 9.8 no less. Ottley is most famous for the series of Invincible, yet here trying ideas and art to fit a "new" narrative. Will this prove to be successful? Will the Banner, Hulk, and Ottley win out? Stay tuned, as other issues have taken a place from the $1 bins, if only to read, in the collection. Bought from Titan Comics a local comic shop, that has bargain bin slabs, but who could resist that cover by Ottley in 9.8, when the story is so promising for only $45!?
Complete with a back cover picture of the long sleeve retro black t-shirt I got from the "Dune: part 1" prescreen! Like the cover here with Hulk in a bomb type scenario, both are about taking us into the dystopian future where the wasteland is built after destruction. The green menace from others trying to wield him like a machine, and in film the riders of the barren desert fallout!

Incredible Hulk #773. As the Hulk Titan emerges so does the Slabbed 9.8 or Bust Copies, that will be as time tells, and we all read and find out the story. It has glimpses of an apocalyptic take over but not only of oneself, ie the Hulk, but also of Bruce Banner and the compelling story, as once again the Hulk is being harnessed. It doesn't ever seem to be for roses and daisies either, the hard telling story comes together and has Banner relaying to Hulk, "it is the same as it ever was!" A new horse bridle type of harnessing through what only hopes to keep in check and wield its own self around the Hulk. The battle of minds is difficult, with the Hulk only proving his "wit", as usual, with not letting the control go to someone outside himself. Picked up from boardie ChaseNBlue for a flat $40! Time will tell if these spectacular bonding exercises between Banner and Hulk will win out overall.
Complete with a back cover picture of the insides of the book from my raw copy that I also picked up from ChasNBlue the boardie, though I've found raws in the wild!
