Hulk Comic Book History
Of all the Marvel characters, the Hulk has had possibly one of the
most interesting.
1962: Stan Lee and Jack Kirby create "The Incredible Hulk" comic
book. The rest is comic book history. The book lasted 6 issues and
had the first appearance of the Grey Hulk.
1964: Giant-Man was starring in a comic book called Tales to Astonish.
In issue number 59, he fought the Hulk. The next issue, #60, the
Tales to Astonish comic book split into two sections. The first
half a story starring Giant-Man and the second half starring the
Hulk. In issue #70, The Sub-Mariner took over Giant-Man's place.
1968: The Hulk officially takes over the entire book and it is
renamed "The Incredible Hulk" which explains why you will never
find issues #7-101 for The Incredible Hulk.
1977: A large-style magazine titled "The Rampaging Hulk" debuts.
It starts off in B&W and goes to color. I can't remember how many
issues it lasts though. The stories are later said to be imaginary.
1998: A new comic book called "The Rampaging Hulk" debuts and
deals with stories early in the history of the Hulk before anybody
knew Bruce Banner was the Hulk. It lasts 6 issues.
1999: "The Incredible Hulk" comic book ends it's run at #474.
1999: "The Hulk" debuts and starts at issue #1.
2000: Starting with issue #12, The "Incredible" is added back
to the title. And there was much rejoicing.
