80s Incredible Hulk Gray Marvel Packaged t-shirt Extra Large

Content: Most likely cotton blend

Tag Brand: Comic Images

This amazing vintage shirt is a deadstock tee from the collectibles company Comic Images, and it comes in a sealed package from the 1980s. This shirt features an amazing graphic of Bruce Banner's alter ego, the Incredible Hulk, more specifically it features an image of the lesser known Gray Hulk. Oddly enough, when Stan Lee first designed the Hulk he chose to make the character gray, as he didn't want the monstrous hero's unique skin tone to be associated with any specific ethnic group. Colorist Stan Goldberg wound up struggling with the gray skin tone, and it was eventually changed to the Hulk's signature green.

Gray Hulk later became his own separate character, which was different from the green Hulk. Known also by the alias, Joe Fixit, Gray Hulk was designed to represent one of the numerous dissociative identities in Bruce Banner's subconscious.  

This shirt features the dynamic cover image used for The Incredible Hulk #345. This issue showcased an amazing collaboration between two heavy hitters of Marvel Comics, writer Peter David and artist Todd McFarlane. However, this graphic actually predates McFarlane's mainstream fame and his work on The Amazing Spider-Man.  

Marked as an adult Extra Large. This shirt comes new, unworn in a sealed package. Because of this measurements can not be provided. This shirt is final sale and not eligible for returns.
