Collecting Hulk

incredible_hulk_7_1There are hundreds of different collections of Iron Man, especially his original run from 1963 to 1996. However, there are a few specific formats of books that cover large portions of this title, and I’ll cover those first – Essentials, Epics, Masterworks, and Omnibuses.

  • Marvel Masterworks: Premium-format color sequential collections
  • Epic Collections: Trade paperback gapless collections released in random order
  • Omnibus & Oversized Editions: Massive, collector-edition tomes with oversize pages

Essential Hulk

Marvel’s Essentials line packs tons of comics into each black and white, phone-book-sized edition with newsprint paper. If you don’t care about color and glossy paper, this is the best way to acquire your favorite classic stories quickly.

Essential Editions are not repeated below in their chronological placement, since B&W is not the original format of this series.

Essential Vol. 1: The Incredible Hulk (1962) #1-6 & Tales to Astonish #60-91

Essential Vol. 2: Tales to Astonish #92-101, The Incredible Hulk #102-117, & King-Size Special #1

Rampaging Hulk, Vol. 2: Hulk! (magazine) #16-27

The Essentials line has been discontinued and will not extend past #248. Jump to that spot in the chronology.

Marvel Masterworks

Marvel Masterworks editions are high quality, full color reproductions of original issues. The volumes were originally released as hardcovers, with many now out of print. Some of the earlier editions were also released in paperback. If you decide to buy hardcovers, the newest editions are from 2003 and, with silver dustjackets.

Epic Collections

Marvel’s Epic Collections represent a consistent, affordable, full-color bookshelf format of issues in perfect continuity order without a single gap. The catch? Marvel is releasing them in a random order to focus on the biggest gaps first – since early issues are already well-covered by both Essentials and Masterworks.

#19, 23, & 1.MU:Vol. 4: My Best Friends Are Monsters
Also collects Generations and Moon Girl & Devil Dinosaur #4.

Thor Vs. Hulk: Champions of the Universe
Collects Thor vs. Hulk #1-4. I’m not sure what the chronology/continuity of this story is, since it stars Odinson as Thor and Banner as Hulk, neither of whom are currently active at this time.

#709-714: Return To Planet Hulk

#714-717: World War Hulk II
Also includes World War Hulk #1

At the end of Marvel Legacy, Amadeus Cho continues in Champions and Bruce Banner returns as Hulk in “Avengers: No Surrender.”

Marvel Fresh Start: Bruce Banner as The Immortal Hulk (2018 – present)

At the end of Marvel Legacy, Bruce Banner makes his return as Hulk in “Avengers: No Surrender.” That story makes the argument that, really, Banner never left – because The Hulk is not only indestructible, but immortal! That sets up a new series by Al Ewing with The Hulk as the star of his own horror movie – one where he finally takes ownership of the fact that he can be defeated but he can never die.

in oversize hardcover…

#1-10: Vol. 1

#11-20: Vol. 2

as originally collected…

#1-5: Vol. 1: Or Is He Both?
Also collects some introductory material from Avengers: No Surrender

#6-10: Vol. 2: The Green Door

Defenders: The Best Defense
Collects a series of Defenders one-shots (in this order) Hulk: Defenders #1, Namor: Defenders #1, Doctor Strange: Defenders #1, and Silver Surfer: Defenders #1, and Defenders #1.

#11-15: Vol. 3: Hulk’s Inferno

#16-20: Vol. 4: Abomination

Fantastic Four by Dan Slott Vol. 4: Thing Vs. Immortal Hulk
Collects a two-issue fight between Thing and Hulk in Fantastic Four #12-13. This is not especially significant to Hulk’s plot

#21-25: Vol. 5: Breaker of Worlds

Absolute Carnage: Immortal Hulk
This is written by Al Ewing and fits perfectly into Hulk’s ongoing plot but is not collected with his ongoing title; need to check placement

#26-30: Vol. 6: We Believe in Bruce Banner

#31-35: Vol. 7: Hulk is Hulk

#36-40: Vol. 8

    This is really great.
    I’m keen on reading some Red Hulk stuff.
    Seen this on Amazon U.K.

    Would this be the right run?
    Thanks for putting so much effort in

      Nate: Yep, that’s the first time Red Hulk pops up. You can see that collection on this page, and I checked the ISBN to be sure it’s the same one: 978-0785185390

    I’m looking for a particular Hulk comic that would’ve come out in the late 70s/early 80s–hard to pin down the exact year, but I got it around 1980/1981, when I was 9, and had it for a few years until it was lost or stolen. It was a large-format one-off in which the Hulk traveled to a Tolkien-esque ‘high fantasy’ realm. I loved it so much, but it eventually disappeared. I have a feeling it was stolen, but I don’t know by who. The background on the cover was white, and the art featured on the cover consisted of a series of little tableaux from the comic, as I recall. I can’t remember the exact title, and my searches have turned up nothing. It seems to be incredibly rare, which only makes me more angry when I think about it being stolen. For some reason I feel like Gene Colan worked on it, but that may be wrong. Again, searches have turned up nothing. I would love to get another copy, or at least confirm that it existed. It’s driving me nuts! Your help would be greatly appreciated.

      Hello!
      I’ve been haunted by back issue searching conundrums like this all through my life!
      I solved some of them… Through luck, mostly!
      So i think i know how you feel.

      I just spotted this site showing every cover from every Hulk appearance ever!
      So, i guess if you adjust your zoom feature a little bit and patiently browse through all the covers, you might get lucky!
      Good luck!

      Dom

    Hi – great work here. I recently read Planet Hulk collection and the World War Hulk collection with my son. Following that continuity, which collections would you recommend we read next? Thanks for great stuff here.

      If you’re wanting to follow Greg Pak’s work on Hulk, next up for you would be Skaar: Son of Hulk, which takes place on Sakaar and is getting a nice Complete Collection this July, or his World War Hulk follow-up miniseries, World War Hulk Aftersmash: Warbound. After that, he takes over the main Incredible Hulk series; if you’re looking at the contents menu at the top of the page, this run can be found by clicking on the “Vol. 1, again, and Incredible Hulks (2009 – 2011)” button. He left for other projects after that, but he came back in 2015 to write a series about Amadeus Cho taking over as a more optimistic, under-control version of the Hulk. In the menu, that’s under “All-New, All-Different Marvel Now: The Totally Awesome Hulk (2015 – Present)”. Happy reading!

    […] What would happen if a super-famous writer built an all-new, all different version of a major Marvel mainstay and no-one cared? Mark Waid did just that with his initial Hulk run, which saw Banner using Hulk as a gamma-sized weapon when his science-y missions went to hell. It was a great, inventive take on Hulk, but when it didn’t catch fire Waid lobotomized his compelling leading man and then hit the eject button. Then, marvel’s newest rising star Duggan took over and did just fine by writing an encyclopedia of all things gamma-radiated, with Hulk starring as both the hero and villain. If you dig Hulk but don’t always want the smashing that comes with him, this is the run for you. Visit the guide. […]
