New Hulk Shirt - Hope you're watching the Oscar's though...
Watching the Oscars – so I am going to make this real quick – here is a new Hulk Shirt I found at a LCS. I think the art looks familiar but I am not exactly sure who it is. I want to say Keown – but man – I could be wrong… who can help me out here? Sorry – getting back to the Oscars now!

This company brought out a couple of Hulk shirts – I found this one first and snagged it up immediately – because it’s just that awesome! Not only did I think it was awesome I bought it and then changed into this right away. Litterally, right there at the counter. It was a sight to behold. A month later I took the shirt off again. By force of course…

Going Green Tee Fury Hulk Shirt
There is a great site called Tee Fury – right here for those interested – that sell T-Shirts for one day. Then, BAM! They are gone. Seriously – gone. I had a real hard lesson in life whe I missed out in the coolest Hulk/Kool-Aid t-shirt ever. If I was a real responsible blogger I would find it and then link the image here – but comeon! You guys have to do some of the work sometimes!
Ugh – I am such a push-over – look here to see the first, cooler shirt that I missed out on - and this spoon feeding has to stop somewhere children! Some day you will have to feed yourselves!
Hulk Shirt 23... and still counting!
Here is another Hulk shirt… found this about a month ago – and I would have posted it earlier – it’s just really difficult to come up with new things to say about a shirt. I mean, what do you say about a shirt? It… looks cool. It, ummm… smells new. Love the image. It’s… really black! And that’s about it! Other than that I would just have to come up with something else to say that doesn’t even pertain to the shirt! And who wants to read something like that?
Hulk Shirt 21
There are a few Hulk shirts that I have passed up – ones that I was fine with not owning – I do wear most of my Hulk shirts and proudly, I might add. I was thinking about letting this Hulk shirt go, I mean it has sort of pastel colors, I don’t do pastel, and it’s very… feminine. But it does have a Hulk image that is classic, amazing in fact. Props will go to the person who can identify which cover that image comes off of – a small hint, because this is an easy question already, but it’s not a Hulk comic. Anyways, this shirt may come out of the Hulk room someday – but my cat seems extra fond of it and as a bed right now (it’s laying on the couch) so I have a feeling it’s already been hijacked. I don’t mind giving things up for my cat though – cause he’s a bad ass! He’s taken down 3 mice and countless moths in the house – the least I can do is make him comfortable with a Hulk shirt.
Biggety Bam! Hulk in Pastels!
Hulk Shirt Front
Now here’s an interesting shirt. I had a little trouble finding the info on the illustration – but some good people at the Statue Forum helped me out. The body is actually from the Master Edition of the Marvel Universe handbooks by Keith Pollard. But the head is taken from Rich Buckler’s drawings in Incredible Hulk #200. (Thanks Fiddy!) I found this shirt in a clearance rack in Newbury Comics. Who knew Newbury would even HAVE a clearance rack? And how many other people passed on owning this wonderful shirt? For shame! I’m not usually a fan of shirts with something on the front AND back – but I will forgive this one – because it also shows the Hulk’s front and back! It’s almost like irony – if you knew nothing about irony!

Hulk Shirt #20
This is also the cover to Incredible Hulk #377 – the comic that has the first appearence of the merged Hulk. The cover is better than #379 which shows the Hulk’s face – people love that cover, but this one is freakin’ sweet! I bought this shirt at a comic shop… somewhere. It was a while ago. I can’t remember – so sue me – but it was a choice between getting this shirt or one of the Red Hulk. Exactly, there was no choice – obviously the only reason to get a Red Hulk shirt is to burn it.
I bought this at the same time as I bought the Movie Hulk shirt at Bedrock Comics in Framingham. I love this shirt and have already worn it twice. I wore it to a cookout last Saturday where we had a fire pit and I went home smelling of fire smoke (the best smell ever). My shirt still smells like that smoke and I love it! What a classic image to put on a shirt – when the Hulk was still a menacing creature that was so visually arresting you had no choice but to pay attention to him! I love Kirby’s image of the Hulk so much that it’s almost a shame the Hulk’s look has changed so much over the years.
I’m posting this (the last shirt I posted was way back in November!) but this isn’t even the cooler one I bought! I thought I’d show you this one first and then dazzle you with the other one I bought tomorrow. I bought this shirt because I thought it wasn’t too tacky to wear and still shows the movie Hulk. I bought this at a great comic shop I found in Framingham, MA called Bedrock Comics. I think, I didn’t ask but with my keen powers of observation I was able to deduce, that next to the comic shop is a candy store owned by the Comic owner’s wife. Check out Bedrock Comics for some friendly service.
I have one of these shirts for my nephew – and then I bought another for when I have a little one I will deck out in Hulk! I love the classic image and the vintage feel of the shirt. I was happy to see they were releasing more than just the movie images of the Hulk.
This is a great shirt that I bought at Spencer’s Gifts way back 1998 when love was free and music really meant something, man! Wait, that was the 60′s. …back in 1998 when free love was scary and could potentially kill you and the music meant more than it does today! Ahhh… Memories. I like this image of the Hulk – except – I hate the glowing pink eyes. It looks like he has that eye disease – the one that makes your eye all pink… what was that called again?
This shirt was done by Deodato Jr. While he always has a unique style Deodato’s illustrations got better the longer he stayed with the Hulk. A fun bit of triva about Deodato – He’s from Brazil and is fond of people who misspell his name – like I did the first hundred times I posted about his illustrations! Whoops – I’m an idiot.
Look at the links at the side of the page for a new link about the Artists who’ve graced the Hulk with their talents.
And because I feel bad about misspelling his name so much on this site I’ll also include this link to a cool interview done with Deodato.
This is the cover to Marvel Adventures Presents #1, Starring the Hulk. Kind of a silly picture to make into a shirt, but I bought it anyways.
Neither of these shirts are really vintage. The top one came out in 2000 and the other came out in ’97. I bought the top one at Hot Topic an the other at a comic shop. I don’t really remember where – but it was 10 years ago now, so please understand.
This Hulk shirt is a little too flamboyant for me… the bright green – the Hulk’s hair even looks styled that intentional messy. All the business going on behind him – This is my least favorite shirt.
