Coca-Cola presents Marvel Origins Hulk Poster (1980)

An entire series of posters were produced by Coca-Cola in the early eighties highlighting the most famous Marvel characters. This 28×22 poster doesn’t just feature kick ass, classic Sal Buscema art but re-tells just how the Hulk came to be! This was another poster that I waited a little longer than maybe I should have

New Hulk Figure Coming – Be Ready!

Yes, it’s kind of expensive but an 20th Anniversary Hulk is coming out that looks pretty decent. While you can find it for between $35-$45 I am hoping to see the price come down even further. The only thing I think I have an issue with is the alternative head: The odd underbite is a

Appreciate Gil Kane

Some comic book artists deserve more credit than they get. I don’t hear the comic world expressing just how amazing Gil Kane was as much as I think they should! Let’s change that people!

Vintage Hulk Poster (1977)

There were a few posters I never sought out. I decided to invest my efforts else where but never really closed the door on purchasing them down the line. Well, a few months ago a poster collection came into my LCS and had a couple of beauties. This is the first and the other will

In Case You Missed It – Part 49

Avengers #750 came out a couple of weeks ago and even though the Hulk has nothing to do with the story inside that didn’t stop Marvel from having artists create art featuring the Jade Giant on the cover. What makes more sense are the covers that spotlighted his cousin: Talking about Jen Walters, she also

Funko Pop! Previews Exclusive Immortal Hulk Figure #840 (2021)

If you look back you’d see that I did post this earlier except it was the chase version. I decided to pick up the regular version as well even though there is no aesthetic difference. I still think this is a fun version of a fantastic incarnation of the Hulk we’ve had in years. I
