This auction presents the elite collector the opportunity to acquire rare, high-grade examples of two of the most important early Marvel issues ever produced! These are two first round Silver Age keys containing the first appearances of two of the most popular and enduring super-heroes in the Marvel Universe, founding Avengers team members Hulk and Thor! If you've ever had these in your sights, don't miss this big time collection-building opportunity!
What you see here may just be the very best Incredible Hulk #1 that a collector will ever have the opportunity to purchase. Everything about this example is a CGC 9.6, except for small hairline creases near the top staple and a tiny tear in the same area. It has received an endorsement from CVA as being an Exceptional example for the 9.0 condition assigned, and it truly is! We have seen and sold others among the small population of 9.0s that exist, as well as the 9.2 Northland pedigree example, and this one compares favorably with all of them. Never have we seen such a combination on this issue of razor sharp edges, sharp corners and a front cover color strike so vivid that it appears to have just been printed today. It is has no markings on the cover whatsoever, and the interior is equally impressive as the page quality is newsstand-fresh White! This book has been buried in the collection of a private collector for decades, and it has come out at long last!

Debuting in the Summer of 1962, Thor was one of the earliest superheroes introduced in Marvel's Silver Age. As an incarnation of the Norse God of Thunder, he also stands out as one of the publisher's most powerful characters.
