Incredible Hulk (1962) #380 (April 1991), written by Peter David with pencils by Bill Jaaska and inks by Bob McLeod, is a dramatic Copper Age issue. The vigilante Crazy Eight faces execution for murdering a senator, a sentence that unfolds with grim finality. After her death, Doc Samson uncovers a shocking revelation that reframes the tragedy, forcing him to confront moral and psychological dilemmas. Peter David’s acclaimed run weaves intense drama with the Hulk’s peripheral involvement, exploring themes of justice and regret. Bill Jaaska’s gritty art, paired with McLeod’s inks, captures the story’s emotional weight, making this a standout in David’s Hulk saga.

Value & Trends
  • Current: $5–$15 (VG/FN), $20–$40 (VF), $50–$80 (NM) on eBay/MyComicShop, with CGC 9.8 copies fetching $100–$150 due to David’s run and the issue’s dramatic stakes. Newsstand editions may see a slight premium for scarcity.
  • 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.
