Alan Quartermain

Alan Quartermain is a S.H.I.E.L.D. operative who first appeared during the gamma-irradiated chaos surrounding the Hulk, serving as a government-level presence navigating the dangers that come with monitoring Marvel's most volatile characters.

Stepping out of the pages of The Incredible Hulk #341 in 1988, Alan Quartermain is a Copper Age Marvel creation born from the legendary creative partnership of writer Peter David and artist Todd McFarlane — one of the most celebrated runs in Hulk history. A S.H.I.E.L.D. operative with a presence that has quietly persisted across more than three decades of Marvel continuity, he moves through a world of gamma-irradiated chaos, sharing the page with heavy hitters like the Hulk himself and the scheming Leader, as well as figures bearing the Quartermain name. With appearances collected in the Incredible Hulk by Peter David Omnibus and the Epic Collection, he's a character tied to one of Marvel's most critically beloved eras — a rewarding discovery for any serious Hulk completionist digging into the rich, layered world Peter David built.
