THE INCREDIBLE HULK #134

Cover shows strong gloss and vivid color with sharp corners overall; minor edge wear is visible along the top and right edges with slight whitening at a couple corner tips. There is a faint vertical crease/soft spine roll visible on the left edge, and the spine appears mostly tight with no major stress lines or color breaks visible. The book is in a protective sleeve which adds some glare but no major stains, tears, or writing are visible on the cover. Interior and back cover were not assessed.

The Incredible Hulk #134 (Marvel, December 1969) finds Herb Trimpe well established as the title's regular penciler, working from a Roy Thomas script and inked by Sal Buscema, with Artie Simek on letters and Stan Lee editing. The issue is part of a multi-part storyline set in the fictional Eastern European nation of Morvania, introducing the Golem alongside supporting characters Draxon, Isaac, Rachel, and Rebecca. It sits at the tail end of the Silver Age by cover date, in the stretch of Trimpe/Thomas issues that helped define the visual identity of the Hulk feature heading into the 1970s.

Market data shows a large certified population (239 Universal copies out of 256 graded) with steady but modest transaction activity across the grading spectrum. Pricing is flat and inexpensive through the mid grades, with values only beginning to separate meaningfully above 9.0, and a sharp premium at the 9.8 tier where census population thins and no higher grade exists. This curve is typical of a well-produced but non-key Bronze-adjacent Hulk issue: consistent demand from run collectors and Trimpe/Thomas completists, but no first-appearance or landmark event driving speculative interest.

This is a book bought primarily by Hulk-run and Herb Trimpe collectors filling reading or display sets, with raw copies trading cheaply regardless of mid-range grade differences. High-grade certified copies, particularly at the 9.8 ceiling, attract a narrower pool of grade-focused buyers willing to pay a substantial multiple over raw material given the tight top-end census. Overall, the issue trades as a stable, low-cost supporting piece within Hulk Silver Age collections rather than a standalone investment target.
