Posters Around the Marvel Office: Hulk by... I dunno!

Hulk poster by an unknown artist from 1978

I was going to post a sweet Ariel Olivetti poster tonight, but I did a quick search through the photos I had and saw I had enough Hulk posters to fill the week (and then some). So for the rest of the week, it's all Hulk, all the time.

This bad boy is an uncredited Hulk poster. The only detail I can gleam from it, other than the pure old school goodness is that it's from 1978. The copyright says so!

Anybody know who the artist is?

UPDATE: Terrific Tom Brevoort has dropped the knowledge bomb on me, informing me that the poster is by none other than John Romita Sr! Thanks, Tom!

Johnny Romita?

Either Romita or Herb Trimpe. Kind of looks like Trimpe to me.

Wikipedia suggests....
That in the 70's Herb Trimpe, and Sal Buscema were the artists for the Hulk no?

Ok...
This is definately Sal Buscema... doing my research, and clicking on the link provided in the Wikipedian entry on Sal. The Marvel Masterworks in the comics for sales section show a hulk comic whose art was done by Sal, and the Hulk on that Cover looks very much like the Hulk in that poster.

Classic, I like it.
