Hulk Comic No. 1, dated 7 March 1979. Cover art by Brian Bolland and Sal Buscema. Apparently the Editor wasn't keen on Bolland's depiction of Hulk's face and so it was replaced with an existing image by Sal Buscema (the full Bolland image is out there on the internet and easy enough to find). Although some may be outraged I think the editor made the right choice for the comic and I much prefer this one. It just looks more like the Hulk.
Below is the inside of the front cover giving a taster of what awaits the reader. I think I'm right in saying Hulk Comic was the first Marvel UK title to feature a significant number of UK originated strips (Black Knight, Nick Fury and Night Raven).

March 1979 ad for Rampage Magazine No. 8! It had started life as Rampage Monthly then changed to Rampage Magazine with No. 6 but with the The Incredible Hulk's name being given more prominence on the cover to tie-in to the Hulk TV show. It remained like this until No. 28 when The X-Men finally ousted Brucie from the cover spot. Marvel UK.
