Sheesh...here I thought I had actually missed something.

"Ang Lee is about as far away from martial arts as they get."

 

But with that name he has to know a lot about martial arts.

Yes, and I sold Sully the Hulk #141 for $110 some months ago. Have one far nicer copy but stopped slabbing for now (too expensive & time consuming).

[CosmicBob]

I keep saying that they should get Catherine Zeta-Jones to play She-Hulk!

[Guest]

if that is the book you sold him, then, including grading fees, he lost money on that book. It sold for $112.

Well, for his latest two pieces of tripe, Lucas was missing a main protagonist, a villain, a story, a -script, a director, capable actors, the list goes on and on.

 

If Liam Nisan isn't a capable actor then I don't know who is?

 

I just bought a Hulk 102 9.0 based solely on speculation. Any thoughts as to whether this was a good or bad decision.

If speculating in modern hulks...I would go for the McFarlane run and David run...still plentiiful in great shape, nice art!

I'd be looking for raw Hulks from about 210-315 for the following reasons:

 

1) They are HARD to find in grade

2) NOBODY bought them (Peter David talks about how when he took over Hulk with there were NO letters to the editor)

3) Right now they are VERY cheap relative to other Marvels in the time period. You can probably pick up a full NM run for maybe $150-200 (if you can find them).

Doubling or tripling your money is a lot easier when you're paying $2 each...

[hogations]

Issues before these are also relatively cheap compared to other Marvel titles and hard to find in nice shape. There's one battle issue with the Hulk vs. Abomination and the Rhino which is underpriced in the guide as well. Can't remember the number exactly...maybe #171?

Oh so true - any book is a good investment at the right price! As for the Hulks between 210-315, they're tough to find allright...cause they were pretty bad .

 

As for investment/speculation in comic books based on the movie, I would look for the 1st Doc Samson, Abomination, and/or the Leader. These characters are all gamma-spawned, which entwines them in the Hulk mythos, and could easily be planted in this movie as minor characters to re-appear as major villains in Hulk 2 ('05). The antagonists for this film appear to be 1) himself (love it); 2) his hard-drinking/abusive father (hate it), 3) THE GAMMA-SPAWNED HULK DOGS FROM HELL (why, man, why ), and 4) Talbot/Ross (true, true).

 

I heard initially that Crusher Creel was going to be in it, but that rumor died.

Good call - 171 has a great, red cover featuring the Hulk about to be sandwiched between a hard-charging Rhino and the immovable Abomination!!! This book was reprinted with an accompanying audio record by Power Records, and yes, I still have my original copy from the 70's

[hogations]

Those Power Records are/were pretty cool. Too bad my turntable died many years ago.

You didn't toss it did you!?!? Those things can go for bucks on this place called ebay...

[hogations]

I used to have one of those single-piece all-in-one junkers with an attached turntable. I dunno what it would be worth today but it wasn't worth much when I had it I still have my LPs though - and they'll probably last longer than my CDs

[murph0]

I don't think Hulk 102 is a good investment choice right now as it's pretty much at an all-time high for the book. It was originally passed over b/c a lot of people didn't see it as the beginning of the series.

My take on Hulk 102 as a speculative investment pertaining to the movie is that it is an origin issue with the best transformation cover - and that, I think, will be factors for people to zero in on once the movie is released. JMHO.

[murph0]

I think Hulk 1 has the best transformation cover

Things change but forever remain the same...how does that saying go?

I'm just being nostalgic.
