Hulk He has not started his editorial career with a very promising beginning.

It is known that the origins of Bruce Banner and his alter ego, created by Stan Lee y Jack Kirby Adventure The HulkPublished in the comic The incredible Hulk nº 1 (1962), whose coverage is reproduced pursuant to this paragraph, are the most robust, since the scientist has reached its powers when it was completely achieved by the effects of the radiation of a gamma pump. However, it should also be recognized that, as regards the editorial area, Hulk Nor has it initially had too much luck, as can be shown if this article continues until the end.

It all started with a discussion between Martin Goodmanthe owner of the publishing house in the 1960s e Stan Lee. The first defended that the titles were the important thing, while the second was convinced that the success was due to the treatment of the characters and stories they lived. The only way to demonstrate who was right and whoever was wrong was to highlight a header with a title that played something foolish and control the readers’ reaction.

So the collection was born Sgt. Fury and its ululary commandos (1963 – 1974), who were also commissioned Stan Lee y Jack Kirbyfact that is commented on the cover of the First issueAs the lower image shows, just below Seven against the Nazis!the title of the adventure which, together with War weaponsIt could be read inside the copy.

The problem was that the restrictive distribution contract that the publisher had at that time forced to close one of the collections that were in circulation, so that, to give the possibility to Nick Furia And his boys had to sacrifice the head of Hulkwhich had reached only six copies.

For a while, a Hulk He had no other choice than to settle for his appearance in other sources, or as a member of a team, since we cannot forget that he was one of the founders of The Avengers (Even if it lasted very little time in the group), or as a guest star of other headlights like The Four Fantastic (which allowed readers to contemplate it by measuring their forces Thing).

By coincidence, after its appearance in the adventure Insert Hulkbelonging to a serial starring Hick man and the Waspwhich saw the light Tales to Astonish nº 59 (1964), from the work of Stan Lee y Dick AyersThe emerald giant went to share that head, from Next numberwith the two heroes that we have just mentioned (even if with separate comics) in the adventure simply entitled The incredible Hulk!Where Jack Kirby He returned to his creative tandem with Stan Lee.

Like the screenwriters and cartoonists, who were varying as the collection advanced, the Hick man and the Wasp They ended up giving their position to Namorwho continued to share the header with Hulk Up to, in 1968, the copy 102 He was divided into two different collections, although, in the case of the Esmeralda Colossus, keeping the previous numbering, so that he had his collection, published with the adventure – This world is not his!for work of Gary Friedrich y Marie Severin. So you can see your cover.

At the moment, Hulk Is a solid character inside The house of ideaswho recently celebrated his copy 800 of classical numbering. And it is that the importance of the alter ego of Bruce Banner For the publisher it cannot be doubted, since, as we commented at that moment, it was in the head of the emerald giant in which an iconic character like the first time saw the light as the first time Gluttonto show an example of its relevance. So that it is still curious to think about how much different adventures Wonder AND Hulk He would have been abandoned after his sixth number.

The truth is that, in Marvel CinemaTography UniverseThe giant of Esmeralda and his human counterpart have undergone a fortune, because after reciting The incredible Hulk (2008), with Edward Norton AS Bruce BannerThe question of rights caused that it has returned only as Co -star or Guest Star, this time with the face of Mark RuffaloAs we saw in the movies The Avengers (2012), Iron Man 3 (2013), Avengers: The ultron was (2015), Thor: Ragnarok (2017), Avengers: Infinity War, Marvel captain (both in 2018), Avengers: endgame (2019) y Shang-Chi and the legend of the ten rings (2021), in addition to the miniseries She-Hulk: The Furyone of the Hood (2022).

Even if you also say that Hulk will be seen next year in Spider-Man: New dayFor all fans of the character that we would like to see him act in a solo project, but nothing is known yet.
