About this Collection

This second edition of Marvel Masterworks: The Incredible Hulk, Vol. 1 collects the earliest adventures of the Jade Giant, reprinting The Incredible Hulk #1-6 from 1962-1963. It features the debut of the Hulk by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, along with early appearances by Rick Jones and the introduction of the Hulk's classic foes like the Leader and the Toad Men. This hardcover volume presents the original stories in restored color, offering a definitive look at the character's formative tales.

The Hulk returns in a landmark tale from Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, redefining the character’s origins with raw intensity. When General Ross manipulates Rick into a space-bound experiment, the Hulk’s fate takes a shocking turn—transformed by solar radiation and bound to Rick’s consciousness, his power now tethered to wakefulness alone. Jack Kirby’s dynamic art, brought to life by Dick Ayers’ inks and Stan Goldberg’s vibrant colors, captures every pulse-pounding moment, while George Roussos’ iconic cover sets the tone for an unforgettable journey.
