Incredible Hulk 400 Appraisal

The Incredible Hulk #400 (December 1992) - 400th Issue Special

This is a vintage comic book titled 'The Incredible Hulk' issue #400, published by Marvel Comics in December 1992. As a milestone '400th Issue Special,' it features a distinctive holographic silver foil cover that reflects a spectrum of colors when hit by light. The cover art, illustrated by Jan Duursema, depicts the Hulk facing off against the Leader, with a crystalline structure holding a female figure (Betty Ross) in the center. The price tag on the cover is $2.50 USD. This issue is part of the 'Ghost of the Past' storyline (Part 4 of 4). It also includes a 30th-anniversary (1962-1992) corner stamp featuring the Hulk. Physically, the item shows signs of handling and wear typical of its age. Notable condition issues include visible color breaking spine stresses, slightly rounded corners, and some minor 'foxing' or darkening along the right edge of the front cover. The foil surface appears to have some light scuffing. The staples appear intact, though the alignment of the cover wrap is slightly off-center. This specimen is from the Modern Age of comic books and represents a period when 'gimmick' covers, like holofoil, were highly popular among collectors.
