The Incredible Hulk

The Incredible Hulk

The first concepts and drawings for the Hulk were created by artist Jack Kirby, alongside writer Stan Lee. Lee wanted the Hulk to be gray so that there were no color associations with any ethnic group or culture. The colorist, Stan Goldberg, had problems creating the right look with gray, so he used different shades to emphasize the Hulk’s features. As a result, some of the gray colors had a hint of green. Eventually, when the first comic involving the Hulk went to print, the printers had problems re-creating the gray, and the Hulk ended up coming out green. However, he wasn’t initially the vibrant green we know today, which was emphasized more over the years.
