Hulk Hogan

A fictionalized version of the real-world professional wrestling icon, this Hulk Hogan appeared in DC comics as a celebrity guest character, crossing paths with Superman and other DC heroes across multiple titles.

Bursting onto the page in Action Comics Weekly #632 in 1988, this Copper Age creation from Cherie Wilkerson and Vince Giarrano is one of comics' more delightfully unexpected figures — a real-world celebrity rendered in four-color DC glory. Over a publishing span stretching nearly three decades, this Hulk Hogan has racked up 38 catalog appearances across titles like Action Comics Weekly, Adventures of Superman, and WWE Superstars, sharing pages with some of the heaviest hitters in comics — Superman, Batman, and Captain Boomerang among them. Two of those appearances carry key-issue status, making them genuine finds for the collector digging through back-issue bins. It's a wild, fun corner of DC history that reminds you just how wonderfully strange the late Copper Age could be.
