American Update: Hulk Annual #1 with iconic Steranko cover
*Marvel: 1968 saw Jade-Jaws’ first-ever Annual, a 50-page extravaganza by Gary Friedrich and 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, this is a beautifully-presenting Apparent VF, with lovely interior page quality, deep vivid cover colours, but, full disclosure, there is some paper tape reinforcement (approx. half an inch) of the lower spine, where a split was occurring. Nevertheless, a truly lovely copy on sale at £80. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
