\"tonefull.jpg\"<\/a>[ENGLISH] LOS ANGELES, CA (February 25, 2008) \u2013 Last year, The Hero Initiative, the charity dedicated to helping older comic creators in medical or financial need, enlisted the aid of 100 top-flight Spider-Man artists throughout history to create The Ultimate Spider-Man #100 Project, a collection of 100 original\u00a0Spider-Man covers. Hero is reprising the program with something meaner and greener.
\n\u00a0
\nMarvel Comics has generously donated 100 blank-covered cardstock copies of the new Hulk #1 to Hero. The call has gone out to create a new, Hulk-centric \u201cUltimate 100,\u201d and dozens of artists are currently putting pen to paper. Artists involved include well-known Hulk vets such as Sal Buscema, Mike Deodato Jr., Ron Garney, Ed McGuinness, Don Perlin, Herb Trimpe, Ron Wilson, and more. In addition, Marvel superstars such as J. Scott Campbell, John Cassaday, Frank Cho, David Finch, Joe Quesada and John Romita Sr. have stepped up to add their own take on ol\u2019 Greenskin.
\n\u00a0
\n\u201cIt\u2019ll be tough to beat what we saw last year with the Spider-Man books,\u201d said Hero Initiative Board member Brian Pulido. \u201cBut folks are really stepping up to the plate already with some amazing Hulk pieces. It\u2019s great to see them as they roll in!\u201d
\n\u00a0
\n\u201cAfter witnessing the overwhelming industry participation and fan response to the Ultimate Spider-Man #100 Project, Marvel is excited to be working with the Hero Initiative once again on such a unique and beneficial project. It\u2019s quite inspiring to watch the comic book community come together so selflessly to support those who came before them. And what better way to honor the pioneers of our industry, then by creating one-of-a-kind cover illustrations of one of the most iconic heroes of all time, the Incredible Hulk,\u201d said Marvel Publisher Dan Buckley.
\n\u00a0
\nAll 100 original Hulk covers will be auctioned at a later date, with proceeds benefiting The Hero Initiative. Plans also call for a book collecting all 100 covers. The first covers received will be on display publicly for the first time at the Orlando MegaCon, taking place March 7-9 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.
