The Incredible Hulk #180 in context
Why collectors care
The cameo first appearance of Wolverine, cover-dated October 1974 -- he appears in the final panel, setting up his full debut in the following issue. It is the book collectors buy when they want the true first Wolverine appearance rather than the more famous full one.
How to identify it
Incredible Hulk #180, October 1974. Wolverine appears only at the very end. The first FULL appearance is Incredible Hulk #181, also in this catalog and generally the more valuable book.
Common mistakes
The #180 versus #181 distinction is one of the most contested in collecting, and both are sold as "1st Wolverine." Decide which claim you want -- cameo or full -- and confirm it before buying. Some #180 copies also carry a Marvel Value Stamp; a cut stamp sharply reduces value.
Grade considerations
Check the Marvel Value Stamp on the interior: a clipped stamp is a common and heavily penalized defect on mid-70s Marvels. Otherwise spine stress and tanning drive the grade.
