Incredible Hulk (1962) #324 – Newsstand Edition (1986, Marvel Comics)
Incredible Hulk (1962) #324 (October 1986), written and penciled by Al Milgrom with inks by Dell Barras, is a pivotal Copper Age issue, presented here as the newsstand edition, identifiable by its UPC barcode and scarcer distribution compared to direct market copies. SHIELD develops a genetic bath designed to allow Bruce Banner to control his Hulk transformations. However, when the Hulk and Rick Jones are accidentally immersed in the bath, a new, unpredictable Hulk emerges, reshaping the dynamics of Banner’s struggle. Milgrom’s story blends high-stakes action with SHIELD’s scientific hubris, setting the stage for significant changes in the Hulk’s mythos. His art, paired with Barras’ inks, delivers a gritty, intense depiction of the transformation and chaos, making this a key issue in the Hulk series.

Value & Trends

Current: $8–$20 (VG/FN), $25–$50 (VF), $60–$100 (NM) for newsstand editions on eBay/MyComicShop, with CGC 9.8 copies fetching $150–$250 due to the new Hulk’s debut and newsstand scarcity. Standard direct market copies sell for $5–$80 (NM), with newsstands commanding a premium.
-
Trends: Hulk’s popularity, Godzilla vs. Hulk #1 (2025), and Spider-Man 4 (2026) hype could drive 10–15% price hikes in 6–12 months. High-grade newsstand copies may hit $150–$300 in 2–3 years if SHIELD or Hulk transformations gain MCU focus (e.g., Avengers: Secret Wars, 2027). Comic-Con 2025 news could boost demand.
