Hulk Battles the Inhumans — Steranko cover. 68-page giant.
Marvel’s first Hulk annual, featuring the iconic Steranko/Severin cover and the monster-sized 51-page showdown between the Hulk and the Inhumans. One of the most visually charged Hulk covers of the 1960s — cracked stone logo, psychedelic heat glow, and that perfect Steranko anatomy.
Cover — “Hulk Battles the Inhumans”
Art: Jim Steranko (with Marie Severin alterations)
Steranko’s signature explosive composition — Hulk tearing straight out of the rubble, heavy blacks, broken-stone masthead, and that purple-to-orange flame gradient only 1968 Marvel would dare.
“A Refuge Divided!” — 51 pages
Writer: Gary Friedrich
Art: Marie Severin & multiple inkers (Syd Shores, Frank Giacoia, John Verpoorten, Bill Everett, John Tartaglione — per credit notes)
A full-length epic: Lockjaw, the Un-Place, Maximus manipulating the Hulk, Black Bolt in full king mode, and a power-struggle story that reads like the prototype for every cosmic Hulk/Inhumans clash that followed.
“The Incredible Hulk” — 1 page
A gallery of eleven different Hulk interpretations by Kirby, Ditko, Buscema, Trimpe, Severin, Kane, Everett, Romita, Esposito, Ayers, etc. A roll call of Silver Age giants drawing the same character.
Solid lower-mid grade with strong eye appeal.
Front cover shows creasing, edge stress, and small corner blunting; colors remain bright with excellent Steranko pop. Spine has stress marks but remains tight. Back cover clean with light toning typical of late-’60s Marvel giants. Interior pages are OW/Cream and fully attached. Presents very well for grade — a sharp, affordable copy of a key early Hulk annual and one of the great Steranko covers of the era.
