187. Joe's Comics Corner: Incredible Hulk 180 and 181

Show notes provided by Joe Peluso

It's a hot and humid New York July day, in the summer of 1974. You have just graduated high school and are getting ready to attend your first semester of college in September. But first things first! This week's new comics are out on the stands. The stands on this day is located at the intersection of Lefferst Bvld. and Jamaica Aves in Queens NY. Among the books you snatch from the rack is a diamond in the rough--INCREDIBLE HULK #181. On the cover, of course, is the "jade giant", and some little guy attired in yellow and blue (with ferocious claws) taking a swipe at ol' "jade jaws"! And comic book history is made!  Join you hosts James and Joe for a special Comics Corner salute to the first appearance of The Wolverine! The boys do a deep dive into issue #181, the set up in issue #180, the talented creatives who gave birth to this pop-culture phenomenon, and his place in X-Men lore.   Sit back, maybe pop open a brewski, and recall why this man is the best at what he does.
