American Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Hulk #180 – 1st Wolverine Appearance, ND UK
*Marvel: Among the most sought-after comics of the 1970s, Hulk #180 featured the first appearance of Wolverine, the Canadian super-hero who, outstripping everyone’s expectations, became the most popular Marvel character since the dawn of the Marvel Age. Created by Len Wein and Herb Trimpe (from a John Romita design), Wolvy was revived by Wein when he put together the New X-Men who debuted in Giant-Size X-Men #1, and since then, Wolverine became the star of the X-Men, and a media darling in his own right. Having said that, it wasn’t a lengthy first appearance – in the final panel of #180, Wolverine popped up to make dire threats to both Jade-Jaws and guest-monster the winsome Wendigo – but it’s still the first on-panel appearance of the decade’s mega-hot star. Never distributed in the UK, this gap in your Hulk history can be filled with an attractive FN+ copy, tight & bright with minimal spine and corner wear, flexible off-white interiors, and, most crucially, the Marvel Value stamp firmly in place! FN+ cents (no pence variants on this puppy) at £300. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
