American Comics Update: The Good Doctor Collection Hulkinued: Hulk Annual #1 with iconic Steranko cover
*Marvel: The final Hulk item from the Good Doctor Collection is the classic Hulk Annual #1. 1968 saw Jade-Jaws’ first-ever Annual, a 50 page extravaganza by Gary Friedrich and the talented Marie Severin in which our favourite not-so-jolly green giant travelled to Attilan and fell out with Black Bolt, leader of the reclusive race of super-beings known as the Inhumans. Needless to say – spoiler alert – wannabe usurper Maximus is behind the hostilities, and has assembled his own band of rebel Inhumans to further bedevil our hero. Featuring a striking Steranko cover (arguably the most iconic Hulk image ever), this is a pretty good copy. The spine, so often a problem with these squarebound issues, is totally intact, the cover colours are vibrant and the staples firm. Pence stamped. The pages are supple and off-white. There is just a hint of a reading crease at the spine and a tiny amount of wear along the centre right edge and bottom right corner.
