Jeff Purves--Incredible Hulk #356 Cover (1989)

Fantastic cover I remember well from that era! 

Those two guys must have had one too many at the bar. Even if I knew nothing about the Hulk, I wouldn't walk up to a giant, gray, growling man! Love when I get a Bill J post as part of my balanced breakfast in the morning!

Remember this cover well! Great addition to your collection Bill. Congrats!

A quote that only Hulk (and maybe Terminator) can use with impunity 😅 Fun-tastic cover!

Memorable cover from a great era !! Congrats on this gem !

The Hulk vs. bikers is most certainy not a fair fight! Either way, great addition to your collection, Bill!

The funniest one there is!!!! Love Joe and love this cover. Congrats!

wow, great cover by Purves, congrats!!!

Not since Pee-wee's Big Adventure, have we seen gonads this big!

 ;)

What a cover Bill!

A wonderful and memorable cover, big congrats!

Oh wow, this is FANTASTIC! Color me green with envy (or maybe grey in this case) on this one Bill. Monumental addition to your collection! Congrats - thanks for sharing!

This cover is a lead pipe cinch to be one of the best by Purves.  The bricks, the pinstripes, the chain, and the monster!  Perfect for anyone that rides as Hulk isn't shy from showing off his own riding stance like a boss in Gangnam style.

Excellent cover!!

I'm surprised that fans didn't generally take to Jeff Purves.  I remember reading these great issues right off the rack and admiring the super clean lines and fine details -- though with Bob McLeod, you can't go wrong.  Mr Fixit was loads of fun thanks to Peter David, and this is a perfect portrayal of the grumpy, tough Las Vegas Enforcer Hulk.

These Hulk covers are certainly harder and harder to come by. Love this and HUGE congrats! 

Following Todd McFarlane has to be extremely difficult.   Regardless, this is a great cover.  Congratulations on a fantastic pickup!

A Jeff Purves Hulk cover is already impressive but a classic cover? Well done, Sir! What a great description to match the cover too! 

I liked this run.  Great cover.

Hulk"s suit isn't all ripped up.  Where does he do his shopping! Mind blowing. Congrats on a fun and memorable pick up! 

Wonderful MR FIXIT Hulk cover, didn't really follow much of this era on Hulk but still found it fun.  

Impressionnant cover hulk - bravo !!!!!

I remember this cover and I like Purves' distinct style! Awesome cover and congrats!

Wonderful, one cover more beautiful than the other
Sooner or later I'll die of envy :), congratulations Bill

Savage composition and perspective/angle here.  Also, Mr. Hulk, everyone is a wimp next to you, hahaha...

Iconic cover and great description!

Hulk Smash - huge congrats.

Yes, certainly a classic cover from that era, isn't it? I remember initially being put off by the idea of Mr Fixit, as I disliked it any time the creators would get further away from the classic, savage Hulk I grew up loving. But this part of Peter David's run is a fantastic example of the immense difference a writer can soimetimes make in getting fans to still love the book and character. It WAS absolutely fun while it lasted and deservedly a fondly remembered part of the Hulk's historical canon. Congrats, Bill!

Purves was so good during his run on the Incredible Hulk.  One of my favorite covers from the run. Congrats!

Congrats, Bill! A gem! 

I may be alone in preferring Purves over Mcfarlane- especially when Jeff was inked by Marie Severin. Great, fun cover... and it's wonderful that it's all art and doesn't have the hideous UPC box throwing off the balance and composition!

Such an awesomely fun cover!  Joe Fixit is the best!

The Hulk should wear ties more often.  He looks good in them.

Rare opportunity and you pulled the trigger! Congrats for this cover! 

Hulk's got a funny face! 🤪

You have such great taste my friend! Awesome get on this beautiful Cover!

Great get! Congrats!

Awesome depiction of Mr. Fixit!!!

Fantastic Hulk Cover!!!

Though a die-hard McFarlane fan, I have to concede that the Purves run was more fun to read. Great cover.

Imposing cover.

What's especially interesting for me is that McLeod didn't overpower Purves' art too much.

Well its not everyday that we are so lucky to see a Mr. Fixit / Hulk Cover. Peter David at his best and Purves art was the cherry at the Top. Huge Congratulations..!

Now youse can't leave. (Heh. People's mileage may vary regarding Purves, but there is no denying that this is a nice cover.)

Oh man I've had Purves on the brain recently after listening to a Liefeld podcast where he sang his praises. Congrats on yet another great example from a tremendous artist. 

HULK SMASH....another phenomenal cover Bill

Ha! Such an on-point Joe Fixit right here...congrats, Bill!

McFarlane, Purves, Keown, Frank, and Peter David writing made Hulk one of the best reads from the late 80's into the 90's.  Awesome cover

I'm surprised this was a Dueling Dealers pickup (I only catch the sporadic episode), but congrats on a neat Hulk cover!

Really awesome cover. Love how Hulk looks in this.

Congratulations, Bill, on a truly stunning cover!

Congrats on this latest pickup, Bill. Peter David had a real knack for upending the status quo on the Hulk during his long run and Jeff Purves' lighter, cartoonier style really helped sell the transition to the Joe Fixit stories. A shame we didn't see more sequential work from him!

"THE INCREDIBLE COVER"

Classic cover! Awesome pickup!

Definitely a fun and memorable cover! Huge congrats!

Huge congrats, Bill!  Purves is way up there on my list of Hulk artists.  His all too short run was packed with fun, energy, and was so unique to him in terms of stylization.  You got an outstanding example here!

Dawdled when Jeff emerged about 12 years ago with covers...still kicking myself. The Peter David run is my all-time favorite Hulk. Each artist a superstar. Purves and Kieth were my two faves. Big congrats, Bill!

Jeff Purves took a shot in a difficult transition where fans were sure to gripe. He nailed it here and Joe Fixit was and is memorable to this day.

Fixit is my favourite Hulk.  Great snag and rarecover image of the best Hulk!

I agree, bikers are wimps lol.  Awesome Hulk art Bill !

What a cover, man!

Purves has been so underrated for decades, his short run on hulk was (unfortunately l) between Mcfarlane and Keown ones, so people tends to forget him, but in my opinion he was second-to-none... and this cover is a perfect example of his immense talent.

Dang! This is killer! Loved this period of the Hulk. Good times.

Awesome Cover! Congrats

I always liked Purves style on Hulk.  The clean lines were a refreshing change from all the hyper-rendering of that era

Love Jeff's style on his short run.  Congrats!

always wonderful to visit your collection. so many wicked works. terrific cover here. fun time to be a hulk fan! 

So good!!
