Hulk #1 (2008) - Label inconsistency - 1st appearance of Red Hulk
0

5 posts in this topic

With rumors of Red Hulk showing up on the big screen, I'm looking to get my Red Hulk (2008) #1 copies slabbed soon...but there are inconsistencies with how these are labeled. Some note "1st appearance of Red Hulk", some do not.

 

The variant cover that I like the best is the Hero Initiative/Atomic Comics variant Incredible Hulk #1 cover swipe, and this happens to be one that does not seem to have the 1st appearance designation on the CGC label. Being a 1st appearance collector, and all-around obsessive compulsive collector, that's an issue for me.

 

How do we go about cleaning up the labels for the regular version and all of the variants so that they all note "1st appearance of Red Hulk"?

 

 

Regular Edition

I've seen "1st appearance of Red Hulk. Iron Man, Doc Samson, She-Hulk & Winter Guard appearance."

Dynamic Forces Edition

I've seen "1st appearance of Red Hulk"

I've seen nothing, like this one...

Hero Initiative Edition

I've seen "1st appearance of Red Hulk. Hero Initiative exclusive. Partial blank cover." on GPA results but not an actual book

Not sure what this one looks like...anyone?

Here's a new label Hero Initiative sketch cover that does include the first appearance designation:

(thumbs u Cool, hadn't seen that one. Thanks!

 

I'm wondering if they all say "1st appearance of Red Hulk" now?

Not sure what this cover is called...is this the "Hero Initiative variant"?

Daniel Acuna Variant cover. I believe the ratio for retailers was 1:20 or 1:25.

 

While we are on the subject, there is another variant cover that OP did not list that was also offered to retailers as a variant. The cover is just like the Ed McGuinness Atomic Comics variant but lacks the Atomic Comics designation. This was I believe a 1:50 ratio variant. My problem with the registry is that the comic is scored in the same slot as the Daniel Acuna variant when it should really have a slot of it's own because it was offered as a separate variant.
