Stan Lee is a man who needs no introduction. Nevertheless: Having begun his career with wartime Timely Comics and staying the course throughout the Atlas era, Stan the Man made comic-book history with Fantastic Four #1, harbinger of a bold new perspective in story writing that endures to this day. With some of the industry’s greatest artists, he introduced hero after hero in Incredible Hulk, Amazing Spider-Man, X-Men and more — forming a shared universe for rival publishers to measure themselves against. After an almost literal lifetime of writing and editing, Lee entered new entertainment fields and earned Marvel one opportunity after another. He remains one of Marvel’s best-known public representatives.

-----------------

Stanley Martin Lieber (Manhattan, Nueva York; 28 de diciembre de 1922 - Los Ángeles, California; 12 de noviembre de 2018), más conocido como Stan Lee, fue un escritor y editor de cómics estadounidense, además de productor y ocasional actor de cine. Es principalmente conocido por haber creado personajes icónicos del mundo del cómic tales como Spiderman, Hulk, Ironman, los 4 Fantásticos, Thor, los Vengadores, Daredevil, Doctor Strange, X-Men y Bruja escarlata, entre otros muchos superhéroes, casi siempre acompañado de los dibujantes Steve Ditko y Jack Kirby. El trabajo de Stan Lee fue fundamental para expandir Marvel Comics, llevándola de ser una pequeña casa publicitaria a una gran corporación multimedia. Todavía hoy, los cómics de Marvel se distinguen por indicar siempre «Stan Lee presenta» en los rótulos de presentación. También tuvo un programa televisivo en History Channel en donde buscaba superhumanos "reales".

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Mythmaking (Review of the Kindle Edition)
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2013

Stan Lee and Jack Kirby continue making new myths with superheroes that struggle with their inner demons. Hulk is about a young scientist who gets bathed by Gamma Rays, and survives to become a grey (and later green) monster at night. Later, Dr. Bruce Banner creates a machine that controls when he can become a monster. The danger is always that the monster doesn't like becoming the "weakling" and "puny" Bruce Banner. Hulk has his sidekick, Rick Jones, and a girl who loves Bruce. It's interesting that his girl's name is Betty Ross, the same name that Simon and Kirby used for the Captain America of the 40s. Although the plots are simple, they are enjoyable, and they represent good comic book samples of the sixties. And the inner conflict, plus being he anti-hero makes these stories even more interesting. Kirby's art at times seems sloppy in the action scenes, but most of it reveals promises to come in the seventies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Faithful reproduction of the original comic's vibrant colors. Stan would be proud of this!

The Hulk was my favorite anti-hero! I once owned Issue Number 1 of this and all of the other Marvel superheroes' comics, but foolishly gave them away when I left for college. Now I'm pushing 70, but I was thrilled to find all my favorite Marvel comics for sale in digital format. Now I can read all the Issue #1s over and over again without worrying about damaged and faded pages and covers. If you're a serious Marvel Universe fan you'll enjoy the vivid colors faithfully reproduced exactly as they were printed on the old pulp-paper pages. A real nostalgia-hit that's reasonably priced, too.

4.0 out of 5 stars An economical alternative to buying the originals
Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2012

This volume collects The Incredible Hulk #1-6. The Hulk came quickly on the heels of Fantastic Four #1, and should have been a hit due to the popularity of the Atlas/Marvel monster stories. Unlike the FF, however, the Hulk failed miserably. Marvel gave it their best shot -- six bimonthly issues over a one year period, but it was no soap. This may be the reason why Spider-Man was first introduced in Amazing Fantasy #15. He stood a much better chance of being received in a magazine that already had a circulation, even if it wasn't that healthy. If it bombed, at least it would not be in his own title like The Hulk, sparing the publisher and creative team more embarrassment and possibly killing the FF along with it. After all, a comic book publisher cannot exist on the success of one magazine alone, and their older anthology books were starting to wane in popularity. Even the romance comics were doing better. Everyone knew that the revival of superhero stories was the way to go, due to DC's successful revamping of their Golden Age superheroes. Fortunately, the Amazing Spider-Man was an overwhelming success. Already 14 issues into the FF, the release of the Amazing Spider-Man #1 really helped propel Marvel into the Silver Age of superheroes, and by 1963, with the release of X-Men #1 and The Avengers #1 (not to mention Iron Man and Ant Man in Marvel's monster/sci-fi/fantasy anthology mags), the execs at DC were no longer laughing at the little mouse that roared. Of course, as most of you already know, Marvel eventually toppled that giant publisher a few years later, and this period in comic book history became known as "the Marvel Age of Comics."

The only complaint I have about this collection (and all of the Marvel Masterpieces) is that it was not printed on Baxter paper. Instead, Marvel used glossy stock, which is not the best medium for early four-color comics to be printed on. Great for the computer-generated stuff that has come out since the '90s, but not for these stories. Original comic book newsprint and Baxter paper, a thicker version of newsprint that ages nicely, was perfect for Silver Age comics and reprints like The Life of Captain Marvel, because they both have that ability to soak up, mix, tone-down, and soften the colors that look so garish on glossy stock. When DC reprinted their classics like Showcase #4 (1st appearance of the Silver Age Flash), they used the original comic book newsprint. Consequently, the reading experience was nearly identical to the original. That's very important to the Baby Boomers who were the target audience for these reprints. Because of Marvel's decision to use glossy stock, I can only give this product four stars.

In these early issues, hulks character was still developing. The villains he faced, and the situations he was put in with somewhat lame compared to later issues. You can also see the maturing of Jack Kirby‘s Artwork in the years following.

A great book. Written and drawn by the fantastic team of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The story of Bruce Banners Jekyll and Hyde life with the Hulk has been told over and over in books , movies, and television. But the first comic to feature him is a classic. A great origin and the start of a legend.

Excellent. These are the original comics where the storey began. These set the basis for future stories. Also being the original they were made when the writers had new and exciting story lines. I personally think that these original stories are better than modern comics, where often writers can struggle to put stories together. It would be good to see a continuation of these original comics in digital format for Kindle.

Being new to the original stories, it's fun to compare how the Hulk is portrayed currently versus the almost straight ripoff of Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde he was then though you do see a progression in his tale. Villains were a little weak but overall fun was had with Metal Master and General Fang.

A real mix of stories here - the first 3 parts are ok, the last 3 not so much - Hulk speaking like a 1930s hoodlum to Rick Jones is pretty irksome and some of the other reviews have stated that this is quite a hard read in places - and I agree. The real standout for me was' The origins of the hulk' and'the ringmaster'. These 2 stories I remember from a very tatty treasury edition hulk book that I bought as a kid from a school jumble sale - the rest I'd never read before. Written in a very different style to modern day, the stories are pretty stilted, but then again these were written against the cold war backdrop. There is continual narrative reference as to how strong the Hulk is and invincible etc which gets boring so you have to skip bits. Nonetheless, it's how the whole Hulk thing started back in the early 60s, and makes for interesting reading
