THE SENSATIONAL SHE-HULK #19

The cover shows strong gloss and sharp corners with no visible creases or color breaks. There is a small Spider-Man corner box (a promotional insert) rather than wear damage. No stains, tears, or spine stress are visible in this photo; the book is in a protective sleeve which limits full assessment. Interior and back cover were not assessed, so grade is capped conservatively.

The Sensational She-Hulk #19 arrived during Steve Gerber's idiosyncratic run on the title, continuing the surreal Jack Serious storyline that leaned into the series' self-aware, satirical take on superhero comics. The issue is notable chiefly for its creative pairing: Gerber's script paired with early interior art from Bryan Hitch, years before he became a defining artist of modern superhero comics on titles like The Authority and The Ultimates. The cover, by Dale Keown, adds a further point of interest given Keown's own rise to prominence shortly after on The Incredible Hulk.

Market activity reflects a lower-tier Copper Age direct-market book with a small but active certified population. The census sits at just 23 universal copies out of 24 total graded, concentrated at the high end, with nine recorded 9.8 sales anchoring a fair market value near $110 and a one-year average closer to $89. There is no recorded certified activity in the low or mid-grade range, consistent with a book that was never heavily submitted below near-mint condition, and raw copies in lower grades trade as inexpensive back-issue filler rather than as objects of independent demand.

Demand for this issue is driven almost entirely by Bryan Hitch completists and Steve Gerber readers assembling his full She-Hulk run, with a secondary pull from Dale Keown cover collectors. It is not treated as a key issue in standard price guides and carries no first appearance or landmark event to sustain broader crossover interest. High-grade certified copies, particularly CGC 9.8, will continue to command a real premium relative to raw material simply due to the thinness of the top census, while low and mid-grade copies remain readily available and inexpensive, making this a book bought primarily by run collectors rather than speculators.
