Very nice colors on this Hulk and the Thing protype cover. This is a July 1961 Cover. The Hulk came out in May of 1962 and the "Thing" came out in November of 1961.

If you look in the stories in the comic book, the hulk first started out as a Transformer like earth mover. You move rocks with this! And look at the pictures! Who does the Hulk look like? The Thing??? I will let the comic pages speak for themselves, but there are some wonderful nuggets of wisdom in here--when you read this "You deserted me when I needed you!" Haha! It's the first gold digger shame also!!

Stan Lee always like the "Jekyll and Hyde" story-but he wanted the Superhero to be more decent than the girls that pursued him! Haha!

I know this is a "Hulk protype" and graded as such. But isn't it the "The Thing" prototype also?
