Description
To celebrate my 56th birthday, I'm proud to share this Incredible Hulk #107 cover from 1968, the year I was born. Fifty...Six...Years...Old. Some things do get better with age!

The Hulk faces off against The Mandarin just months after Marvel launched his solo title. Art by Marie Severin and Frank Giacola. John Romita Sr re-drew the Mandarin for the final cover, the art was published again as Marvel Super-Heroes #61 (1976) using Severin's original Mandarin figure seen here. Truly a special vintage Marvel cover and a classic twice-published image of Hulk smashing!

Another 1968 kid, aka old, like myself.  Well you did better for your birthday than I will. Lol. It is ironic that you're winding down while the Hulk is winding up. Go, speed lines, go.

First, happy birthday!  I also just turned 56 yesterday.  Second, congrats on this very cool cover!!  The power of the pose and that fist about to hit the Mandarin is great.

Great cover! I used to own this when it was all stated up.  I always wondered what was underneath but was to scared to take it apart. It looks fantastic! Nice one !

Phenomenal Hulk smash cover.  Since Romita Sr had a hand in this, makes you wonder if he consulted on the fantastic brick work like only he can.   Another home run pickup, And happy Bday!

Like Levy, I'm also envious of your age.  And I prefer Severin's Mandarin.  More disdain than anger.

Whoa!  This is too awesome, Dino!  Immediately recognizable cover with that huge charging Hulk!  Otherworldly super science vs brute strength...let's open this book up and see how it goes!  Congrats!

Happy 56th Birthday, Dino! Congratulations on rewarding yourself with this excellent gift! I've always said it and I'll say it again, I believe Severin was a better artist than Trimpe and only sexism kept her from staying on the title (or ANY title) long enough to show it! An absolute classic!

Magnificent classic cover! The Mandarin displays a kind of tranquil authority that may not be that obvious when the Hulk is rushing your way! Also, thanks for highlighting the two published versions. While I'm not sure about the rationale of redoing the Mandarin, the John Romita remake is pretty impressive as well!

Happy birthday Dino.what a way to celebrate!. one of the early classic hulk covers showing the immense  size of the hulk as he is barreling towards  the Mandarin.  Just a sheer beauty. Congrats.

Great cover and very memorable from a "back issue box nostalgia" for me as I remember this one well. I had to leave this issue behind when I first found it at my LCS (and my allowance budget wasn't enough) ... those weeks waiting while I did more chores to save up seemed like forever. Luckily, it was still there and came home the next LCS visit. Congrats Dino - this fits so well in your well curated gallery.

Happy 56th birthday, Dino! You sure got a swell present! I love this stunning Silver Age cover by Marie Severin and Frank Giacoia! Personally, I really like the Mandaran's calm demeanor as the behemoth known as the Hulk throws a punch right at him! But I can see the editor's point of view that the Mandarin needed to be more engaged, more determined to blast the oncoming Hulk with his power rings. Still, I wish the editors had a little more faith in the instincts of the original artist. Thanks for sharing!

An absolutely stunning cover. Marie Severin fills the space with the Hulk's back - and had a way of making that back seem monstrously powerful. Congrats!
