Answer
Hi, Abel -

Thanks for your question - I should note that when you ask a question like this, it helps if you give the correct publishing year or at least the issue number of the title.

I believe the comic in question is Hulk #172, which is from 1974, so it took me quite awhile to locate it, as I was going off of your description, which - while you may possibly have purchased it in 1973 - was a different publishing year.

As far as "worth", value is associated due to demand.  The best source for this information is the Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide, which is the bible of the industry.

According to Overstreet, if your comic is in Near Mint condition - or almost perfect, the book would be worth about $45.00.  That being said, you'd really need to grade your book to be certain of its approximate value, and even then, it wouldn't necessarily bring that on eBay.

For more information on how to grade the book, as well as more information on determining value and selling such items, please see this webpage:
