INCREDIBLE HULK #1 COMIC BOOK COVER SCENE REPLICA FROM MASTER REPLICA!
ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Description ans of Marvel's The Incredible Hulk comic books share an affinity for the big green guy - but what many of them might not know is that Dr. Bruce Banner's alter-ego was not always green! When the now-iconic character made his debut in The Incredible Hulk #1, published in May of 1962, the character was colored grey! The skin-color decision belonged to then editor-in-chief Stan Lee, who wanted to make the unlikely - and very angry - hero a color that was not associated with any particular ethnic group. However, due to inconsistent coloring techniques at the time, the grey coloring never really worked. Throughout the first issue, Hulk appears in various, inconsistent shades of grey. And so, for the sake of consistency, from issue #2 onward, the Hulk's skin became its trademark green!Now, Master Replicas and Marvel have teamed together to create a Comic Book Scene Replica of the infamous cover of The Incredible Hulk # 1, featuring the Hulk, as Stan Lee originally intended him - in shades of grey! This dynamically sculpted resin piece brings artist Jack Kirby and inker Paul Reinman's beautiful 2-D art into stunning 3-D life!
At the front of the piece, The Hulk stands poised behind his alter-ego, Dr. Bruce Banner - symbolizing the transformation, and the unleashing of the beast within. (Another interesting historical difference between the original and modern Hulk - in the early days, Banner transformed into the Hulk at sunset each day, rather than when he became angry...) Behind Banner and the Hulk are terrified onlookers military personnel. And, of course, every last detail of the original comic book cover - including the title, price, and Marvel logo - is included at the top of the Scene Replica, adding that extra bit of authenticity and realism that fans have come to expect from Master Replicas.
