THE INCREDIBLE HULK #300

Cover shows strong gloss and vibrant color with sharp corners and no visible creases or spine stress lines; the spine appears tight with only minor handling wear. There is slight edge wear visible at the top right and bottom left corners, and a small amount of surface texture/waviness near the barcode area. The book is protected in a plastic sleeve, which limits full assessment of surface sheen and interior condition, and the back cover was not visible for review.

The Incredible Hulk #300 arrived in October 1984 as the series' 300th-issue anniversary release, a milestone Marvel marked with an expanded story and cover treatment rather than a new character debut or plot twist of lasting consequence. Bill Mantlo, the title's longtime writer through much of the early 1980s, scripted the issue, with Steve Geiger handling interior art during his stint on the book following Sal Buscema's long run. The Hulk himself remains the singular draw of the issue, appearing in his familiar grey-to-green Bruce Banner dynamic that had defined the series for two decades by that point.

Market data for #300 reflects its status as a solid but unspectacular mid-run Copper Age issue: certified sales are thin across the grade spectrum, with only a handful of transactions reported at each tier from 7.5 through 9.8. Pricing shows the expected non-linear climb toward the top of the census, with 9.8 copies commanding a real premium over 9.2-9.6 material, but overall demand sits well below that of the title's genuine first-appearance keys. Raw copies in low and mid grades trade as inexpensive commodity Copper Age material, consistent with an anniversary issue that collectors acquire for run-completion rather than speculation.

This book suits Hulk-title completists and readers building a full run of the Mantlo-Geiger era rather than key-issue investors. Entry-level and mid-grade raw copies remain widely available and affordably priced, making the book an easy pickup for run collectors, while the CGC 9.8 tier appeals to condition-census chasers given the scarcity of top submissions. Long-term value is likely to track modestly with general Copper Age interest and the enduring popularity of the Hulk character rather than any breakout key-issue demand.
