Description

Score a prized prototype issue, by laying claim to this 11/60 Atlas Comics Journey Into Mystery #62 issue. Atlas was on the verge of morphing into Marvel Comics when this classic monster tale was published. Seen of the fantastic cover by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, is Xemmu the Titan, who made his first appearance in this compelling comic. This furry behemoth is introduced with the front cover tag "Here Comes the Hulk", with a mad scientist taking credit for his creation. A year and a half later, Stan Lee and company would present the tale of the big green guy we all know and love, who gained his power in a gamma ray experiment gone wrong, but actually quite right for devoted Hulk fans. CGC has encapsulated this treasure with a grade of 5.0, Cream to Off-White Pages. Label notes are "Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko cover.Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Don Heck and Dick Ayers art. Larry Leiber story. 1st appearance of character called "The Hulk" (Xemmu the Titan).".
