Sturky

Sturky made their Marvel debut in the pages of The Incredible Hulk #277 in 1982, brought to life by the legendary Bronze Age team of Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema — a creative duo who knew how to populate the Hulk's world with genuinely memorable figures. With ties to some of Marvel's mightiest institutions — the Avengers, the Defenders, Alpha Flight, and the Fantastic Four — this character moves in extraordinarily rarefied company, sharing adventures alongside icons like Captain America, Spider-Man, and Bruce Banner himself. Rare in terms of catalog appearances but rich in pedigree, Sturky is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that reminds devoted collectors why hunting through back issues is always worth it.
