Auction Item: Journey into Mystery (1952) 62 FR 1.0

"Here Comes the Hulk!" is a great 13-page scientist-versus-giant-monster story with art by Jack Kirby/Dick Ayers, but it is not the origin of the Incredible Hulk. But back in the 1960s that fact didn't keep a prominent comics dealer from advertising Journey into Mystery #62 to unsuspecting comic collectors as the "Hulk origin issue." That prominent dealer was not, by the way, Lone Star Comics, nor was it our friends at Mile High Comics (who were still years away from selling their first comic)! Other stories in this issue: "There is a Brain Behind the Fangs!" (with art by Don Heck?); "I Can't Escape From the Creeping Things!" with art by Steve Ditko; and a two-page text story, "Strange Mission." Kirby cover pencils. Cover price $0.10.
