Lot # 1860: 1974 Marvel The Incredible Hulk #180 First Wolverine Cameo Appearance - CGC 5.0

A Wolverine sighting is announced, with this 10/74 Marvel The Incredible Hulk #180 issue. Not the ferocious, furry little beast inhabiting the Michigan peninsula, the even more ferocious Marvel mutant super-hero armed with adamantium claws, a dry wit, and a menacing scowl. This classic Bronze Age comic book boasts the first brief appearance of the Wolverine/Logan character, who shows up in a cameo on the last page. CGC has just returned this prized comic with a grade of (5.0, Off-White to White Pages). In light of Wolverine's tremendous popularity, and numerous media appearances, this semi-key issue is a solid blue chip buy for the long haul. Label notes are "Len Wein story, Herb Trimpe and Jack Abel art, Herb Trimpe cover. 1st appearance of Wolverine in cameo on last page. Wendigo appearance.".
