#86   The Hulk comic number 181 was priced at 25 cents in 1974, when it first came out.  My dad bought that comic book in 1975 for 35 cents.  He has it today and it is worth $3,400 because it was the first full comic book appearance of Wolverine, the X-Man.  There are 36 pages in the comic book.

How much value did each page of the comic book increase per year on average from my dad's purchase price?

Fascinating fact: 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".
