Incredible Hulk (1962) #333 – Mark Jewelers Variant (1987, Marvel Comics)
Incredible Hulk (1962) #333 (July 1987), written by Peter David with pencils by Todd McFarlane and inks by Kim DeMulder, is a pivotal Copper Age issue, with this copy being the Mark Jewelers variant, featuring a jewelry ad insert distributed primarily to military bases. Bruce Banner makes a crucial discovery about his transformation into the Hulk, prompting him to grapple with its implications—by hitting the bottle in a moment of despair. This introspective issue delves into Banner’s psyche, showcasing Peter David’s acclaimed run that redefined the Hulk’s complexity. Todd McFarlane’s early, dynamic art, pre-Spider-Man fame, adds a gritty, emotional edge, making this a standout in the Hulk saga. The Mark Jewelers variant adds rarity due to its limited distribution.
