Incredible Hulk #6 Value: The Issue They Cancelled On

Marvel cancelled this title with this issue, and six decades later that failure is the reason the comic is worth anything at all. Incredible Hulk 6 value is a story about a short print run.

It is the sixth and final issue of the original series, from March 1963, after which the character spent two years as a guest in other people’s comics.

Why a cancelled run is worth more

A title that gets cancelled after six issues had falling print runs on the way down, and the last issue almost always had the smallest of them. Fewer were printed, fewer reached the newsstand, and fewer survived.

That is why the final issue of a short run is frequently scarcer than the first, even though the first is worth more. It is also why this comic has held its value more steadily than the middle issues of the run.

What it does not have is a headline first appearance. The Metal Master debuts here and the Teen Brigade turns up, and neither is a name anybody chases. This book is bought to complete a run rather than for a character.

Printing check: 12 cents, March 1963, no bar code, and a green Hulk. A gray one means issue 1 and a different order of money entirely.

Quietly tripling at the bottom

No auction result on this issue has ever reached CGC’s reporting, so none of these prices is linked. Heritage and eBay are the sources.

The 8.5 lane has climbed steadily and quietly: $2,340 in November 2019, $3,450 in September 2020, $5,750 on eBay in February 2026. Roughly two and a half times over six years, with no reversal in it.

The 8.0 is noisier but points the same way. $6,600 at Heritage in April 2022 and $3,600 there in June 2023 is a large swing, but both sit well above the $1,673 the grade brought in February 2018.

Higher up the record thins fast. The 9.2 has three sales, ending at $7,800 in July 2023 and $10,300 on eBay that October, and the 9.4 has two, both from 2018. Above 9.4 there is one sale, from 2003.

So the reliable information on this comic is at 8.0 and 8.5, and both have been going up. That is a different shape from the first three issues of this run, where the money and the evidence are both concentrated much higher.

The 7.5 lane has the most sales of any grade here, thirteen, and it has been erratic: $1,680 at Heritage in July 2024, $500 on eBay that December, $2,000 in February 2025, $1,800 in June, $1,900 in April 2026 and $2,650 that August. The $500 result stands out badly and nothing before or since supports it.

Strip that one out and the lane reads $1,680 to $2,650 over two years, trending up like everything else on this page. It is a good example of why a single low sale should never set an expectation, on this comic or any other.

As with everything on this site, those figures come through CGC’s reporting of other companies’ auctions and Heritage’s own published results. GoCollect and PriceCharting track Incredible Hulk #6 independently, and if their numbers disagree with mine it is worth finding out which of us is wrong.

Incredible Hulk #6 value, grade by grade

228 sales tracked back to 2003; here are the three freshest in every grade.

Every row above is a documented sale, verifiable in Heritage’s public Incredible Hulk issue index and in CGC’s published auction reporting. The 7.5 lane holds thirteen of them, more than any grade above it.

Where the run collectors buy

The readable end is the part of this book that actually moves, at fifty sales over the past eighteen months.

From April to August 2026: a 6.5 brought $1,800, four 5.0 copies brought $1,440, $1,050, $970, $825 and $793, a 4.5 brought $700, a 4.0 brought $777, and two 3.5 copies brought $475 and $456.

Five 5.0 sales inside five months from $793 to $1,440 is a wide band for one grade, but the three middle results cluster around a thousand dollars and that is the number I would use.

The two 3.5 results at $456 and $475 are nineteen dollars apart, which is the tightest pair on the page. The bottom of this ladder is the easiest part of it to quote.

Selling an Incredible Hulk #6

1. Green Hulk, twelve cents, March 1963. A gray Hulk means issue 1 and a completely different price.
2. Sell it as a run completion. There is no headline first appearance here; the buyer is someone finishing the six.
3. Use recent comps. The 8.0 and 8.5 lanes have both risen, so an older figure will be too low.
4. Offer the set if you have it. Issues 1 through 6 together attract a buyer that single copies do not.

Send photographs and I will price it against the two grades on this book that actually have evidence behind them, rather than the ones that have not sold in years.

Send photographs and I will place your copy in its grade lane against the same recent sales you can read above. Where you take it next is your call, and the options for selling in Southern California are worth knowing either way.
