Yes, thank you. I have a few pence for my favs, but Hulk is my fav among the favs!  So I couldn't resist completing this pair for the 1st app.  Almost want to crack both of them out to have them sit on a shelf like this for real!

What's the grade on your UK Hulk 1.  The census shows only 4 grade higher than 5.0

What's in a grade?  That which we call a graded book by any other name would smell as sweet!  Joking aside, we can message eachother so we don't hijack this thread.  Hope to post some more in the Hulk mini-series thread.

I'm glad CGC doesn't grade these abominations.  It's like what.... 5% of the comic is real?  I just don't see these as legitimate authentic copies.

The person who has the "#1 piece" from the Action Comics 1 should send his piece in and have them construct an entire comic around it.

Would be interesting to see what that CBCS 9.8 IGB Corp. Hulk 1 book sells for tomorrow.  I believe it sold on social media for around $30k-$35k.  Don't really know the exact number as it was a private sale, but I do remember that was the asking price.  

Could you provide a link to this book?  I'd like to learn more about it.

Oops sorry for not responding until now.  My first time coming on today. Glad someone else posted the link.

I had my Avengers 2 out today and noticed on the Splash page that Hulk only had 3 toes on each foot.

I wonder how many times that has happened thru the years?

It made me want to look at the Hulk 1 cover again to count the toes.

Um.... is it me or does Hulk have 8 toes on his left foot?

Haha!    I think it's more the big left toe is so wide it straddles both sides of Banner's foot.  And the extra folds along the side of that big left toe are just folds not drawn too well i guess.  Good catch tho! both this and the three-toed phenomenon!  Do you know how often the three toes has happened?

He’s got 3 fingers too.  Remember when Stan changed his name to Bob Banner by accident so they made his full name Robert Bruce Banner?  I feel bad for the poor kid who didn’t get a No-Prize for bringing it to Stan’s attention.

The Thing lost one of his toes and fingers too (I wonder if he lost any other appendages?)

Often but not always. That was my favorite thing about him in Kirby's design actually, because it made Hulk seem surreal and different than any other characters (who the heck loses a toe or two when they become their alter ego) but Kirby was inconsistent.

Sometimes Hulk (or Thing) would have 3 fingers and toes, sometimes 3 toes and 4 fingers and sometimes 4 fingers and toes. Weird.

Wow. And you got it discounted by 2 cents. Congrats on a great copy.

They say a solo (yes, SOLO!) World War Hulk movie is already in active development at Marvel Studios?   Hope that's true.

I read all those books but I'm kind of forgetting the story.  Am I remembering correctly that it was basically "every hero in the world vs. Hulk and somehow Hulk wins and the only way they can stop him is shooting him into space," leading to the Planet Hulk arc?  They already (sort of) mined this material in Thor: Ragnarok, borrowing some of the premise and characters (but not the plot) of Planet Hulk.
