The Incredible Hulk #1
Marvel 9d "Pence Copy"
(May) 1962
Origin and 1st appearance of The Hulk (originally grey in colour). Jack Kirby cover and art.
The UK edition has the exact same contents and cover as the American edition. The only differences being price, cover date, and a line of distributor information inside. The cover date was removed as it took about a month for the comics to be shipped to the U.K. from the U.S. All of the comics were printed at the same time with the same paper stock. It is thought that only 2-3% of the print run was for distribution to the UK.
An Incredible Hulk #1 cents copy, graded 9.2 Near Mint Minus, sold at auction in Nov 2009 for $125,475.
