A little while ago I decided I wanted to get back into comic books. While I would pick up whatever interested it in individual issues and trade books, I would also make an attempt to collect a "complete series" of a comic. In this case, I chose "The Incredible Hulk". Tracking down and finding these older issues would get quite expensive. An Incredible Hulk #1 runs for thousands of dollars. Initially the plan was to pick up the Marvel Masterworks books.. but they run $50.00 each. So when I found out about the Omnibus, it was a dream come true. It's an amazingly beautiful book, and the Alex Ross varient cover is amazing. It's simply one gorgeous piece of work. It includes ALL of the covers, all of the old letter's pages (which I think is perhaps my favorite touch), as well as Hundreds and Hundreds of pages of The Incredible Hulk. For a serious collector of all things Marvel, for a serious collector of "The Incredible Hulk" or for somebody who used to collect these issues, and wants to experience them again for that nostalgia factor... it is a WONDERFUL purchase. You couldn't go wrong. It might now be the best, however, for the casual comics reader. A lot has changed in the way that comics are written and drawn today, so these gems of the 1960's might not be as easily appreciated by everybody today. For some, it might also serve as an investment of sorts. It doesn't seem like Marvel has made much of a habit of reprinting their over-sided hard covers and omnibus collections, which would make them collectors items. Other collections like these, after a few years tend to sell at pretty good asking prices, but again buy it to read. Buy it to enjoy. Don't buy it to make a profit.Read full review
Great vintage comics from the 60s. Takes me back to my childhood years. Only downside is that book is out of print and has become a bit pricey.
