The Original Incredible Hulk, Lou Ferrigno Sr., Joins the CGC In-House Private Signing Lineup! 

This event has been postponed at this time. We will provide any updates about this event as soon as they are available.

Get ready Hulk fans because the original The Incredible Hulk himself, Lou Ferrigno Sr., will be joining CGC for an In-House Private Signing event! Ferrigno is famously known for bringing the Marvel Comics superhero “The Hulk” to life, starring in multiple movies, TV series and cameo appearances.

Ferrigno’s appearances as The Hulk include the 1977 two-hour pilot movie, The Hulk; the successful 80 episodes of the 1978 CBS television series, The Incredible Hulk; three television films, The Incredible Hulk Returns, The Trial of the Incredible Hulk and The Death of the Incredible Hulk; the voice of Hulk in the 1996 animated TV series; and two cameo appearances as a bodyguard in the 2003 Hulk and 2008 The Incredible Hulk.

Besides his successful run as The Hulk, Ferrigno has also starred as Hercules in the 1983 film, Hercules and its 1985 sequel, The Adventures of Hercules.

In addition to acting, Ferrigno is also known for his incredible bodybuilding skills. In 1969, he won the IFBB Mr. America award for bodybuilding, and he has even trained with Arnold Schwarzenegger. He has since retired from bodybuilding but is still very active in fitness and nutrition.

“We’re so thrilled to bring iconic actor, Lou Ferrigno Sr. in for a private signing!” shared Brittany McManus, CGC’s Signature Series Director. “Not only is Ferrigno just an incredible guy, he’s also such a memorable star who really brought The Hulk to life for many of us. I know we have so many fans of The Hulk, and I think they will be as excited as we are to have this signing opportunity.”
