12″ Mego Hulk (1978)

These two 12″ Hulk figures are from 1978.  They are part of the famous Mego line.  I have 2 because I found one in a comic shop back in 1998 – but could not find the 6″ one anywhere.  I finally did find the 6″ (which I will post at a later date – or maybe even later today) on ebay, but it came with the 12″ figure.  Both are in pretty good condition, although I would love to find one in a box someday.  These two are featured on my desk – standing proudly until I move to a place where I can have my own Hulk room. 

Sam Keith Hulk Bust (2005)

 

I thought I’d start this blog page with my favorite piece in my collection.  This isn’t the rarest piece I have – nor is it the most expensive – but it combines the beauty of sculpture with my favorite artist – Sam Keith.  This piece is #87 out of 2500.  I’ve never seen a grey variant of this bust and I don’t think there is one.  I purchased this in Boston at the Newbury Comics.  You can see the SpiderHulk figure in the back – but that will get it’s own post later…

Keith only did one issue of the Incredible Hulk (#368) vs. Mr. Hyde.  It was during one of the times that the Hulk was grey – but the bust is in green.  Keith did do many covers for Marvel Comics Presents… and those had some great Green Hulk art – but I will have posts on those later.
