Incredible Hulk #181 - CGC (Comics Guaranty Corporation) graded a visually stunning 8.5 - Bright Colors - Displays Incredibly!!

If you are looking at this, then you know what you are looking at - the first full appearance and origin of Wolverine. Arguably the most important, iconic, key character from the bronze age and some might say still to this day.

Cool facts:
The artwork for this comic's cover in its first print was slightly modified by John Romita so that the Hulk's head wasn't tilted back.
This issue includes Marvel Value Stamp Vol 1 54: Shanna the She-Devil.
This issue gives Wolverine's height as 5'5", whereas the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe (Vol. 2) #14 indicates his height as 5'3".
The film Hulk vs. Wolverine is based on this issue, Wolverine's costume in the film is loosely based of his first costume, as is an episode of Wolverine and the X-Men.

Synopsis:
Wolverine jumps at Hulk and Wendigo but after realizing that his adamantium claws cannot pierce the Hulk's hide, Wolverine attacks the Wendigo to whom is able to hurt. Hulk takes that as a gest of friendship from Wolverine and aids him to defeat the Wendigo. But since Wolverine was sent by the Canadian government to take down the Hulk, so he tries once again.

As the two battle, Marie Carter and Georges Baptise carry the Wendigo to a nearby cave, where the girl would use black magic to transfer the curse of the Wendigo onto the Hulk and thus free her brother Paul. Using gas, Marie knocks out Wolverine and the Hulk, who turns into Bruce Banner.

Refusing to pass the curse to another man, Georges goes into the cave and initiates the ritual, passing the curse of the Wendigo to himself, thus saving Paul who was his best friend.

Marie freaks out when she sees the new Wendigo, this breaks Wolverine's concentration which benefits the Hulk who is able to connect a punch that ends the battle in his favor.
