Biblioteca Marvel #2
This volume launches Panini España's Biblioteca Marvel series, collecting the earliest adventures of the Incredible Hulk from the character's debut in 1962. It reprints the initial issues of the original Hulk series, showcasing Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's creation in his formative, gray-skinned days.
"Hulk, Parte 1: La Aparición de Hulk" delivers a gripping origin reimagined with classic flair, blending Stan Lee and Gonzalo Quesada’s storytelling with Jack Kirby’s dynamic artwork—his iconic pencils and inks defining the visual power of the jade giant. When a military experiment goes awry, Rick’s deception sets off a chain of events that traps Bruce Banner in a permanent transformation, leaving the Hulk bound to Rick’s waking mind in a fragile, volatile alliance. The cover by Kirby captures the moment’s intensity, a striking testament to his enduring legacy.
In the tense moments before the Gamma Bomb detonates, Bruce Banner rushes into the restricted zone to pull Rick Jones to safety, ignoring Igor Drenkov’s failure to halt the countdown. As the blast engulfs the lab, Banner’s body begins to change—transforming into something far beyond human. This gripping first chapter of "Hulk, Parte 1: La Aparición de Hulk" captures the raw, terrifying moment of origin, set in the quiet chaos of a lab on the brink.
In "Hulk, Parte 2: ¡Hulk Ataca!", Hulk, guided by Rick, stumbles through confusion toward Bruce's home, only to confront Igor, who’s making a dangerous move on the Gamma formula. The tension builds as brute force meets cunning in a clash that tests both strength and resolve.
In "Hulk, Parte 5: ¡Hulk triunfante!," the Hulk and Rick Jones find themselves captured and taken behind the Iron Curtain, where the Gargoyle—haunted by his own monstrous form—faces a choice between his cursed existence and the chance at normalcy. When Banner offers to help cure him, the Gargoyle agrees, setting off a tense and unexpected alliance that could change everything.
In "El terror de los Hombres Sapo, Parte 1: Llegan... los Hombres Sapo," the Toad Men descend from the skies, hunting Earth’s brightest mind, while below, Rick and Bruce navigate a hidden cave system, hoping to contain the Hulk each night.
In "Desterrado al espacio exterior, Parte 1," Rick finds himself trapped in a high-stakes gamble when Ross manipulates him into launching the Hulk into space aboard an experimental rocket. Stranded in orbit and facing the consequences of a betrayal he didn’t see coming, Rick must confront the terrifying new reality: the Hulk, now permanently altered by radiation, is bound to his will—only as long as Rick stays awake.
In "El Jefe de Pista," Rick takes a rare break from his Hulk-sitting duties to visit a traveling circus—only to find himself under the spell of a hypnotic criminal running the show. With Rick trapped in a trance and the Hulk forced into the act, the only way out is a surprise reunion with the FBI and a chance to reclaim the ring.
In "El monstruo y la máquina," Rick’s experimental machinery offers a fragile hope when Bruce Banner, trapped in the Hulk’s monstrous form, undergoes a risky transformation back to his human self—only to find himself dangerously weakened. Determined to reclaim control, Bruce takes a bold step: he uses the same device to remold his body into the Hulk’s form, this time with his own mind intact. Now, with the power to switch between identities at will, Bruce must navigate the fragile balance between man and monster.
In "¡El gladiador del espacio exterior!", a mysterious alien demands a champion to battle him in a trial by combat to decide Earth's fate—only for Hulk to discover the confrontation is a trap orchestrated by the Russians, who seek to weaponize his strength. Written by an unnamed author and illustrated by an unnamed artist, the story pits raw power against cunning deception in a high-stakes showdown that blurs the line between hero and pawn.
In "¡La bella y la bestia!", Betty finds herself trapped beneath the earth by the underground tyrant Tyrannus, who uses her as leverage to command the Hulk. With Betty’s freedom at stake, the jade giant must find a way to break free from Tyrannus’s control—before the underground kingdom feels the full force of his rage.
In "¡Las hordas del General Fang!," the Hulk faces off against the megalomaniacal General Fang, a would-be conqueror seeking to seize control of the remote Asian province of Llhasa—only to find his plans undone by the green giant’s sheer strength and a single, surprisingly effective disguise as the Abominable Snowman.
In "¡El Amo del Metal!", the Hulk—still wrestling with the instability of his gamma-powered form—faces a terrifying alien threat in the Metal Master, whose overwhelming power leaves even the Hulk vulnerable. When a failed transformation leaves him with Bruce Banner’s face and no strength to fight, he’s captured by General Ross, but not before Rick forms the Teen Brigade to help. The Hulk’s escape sets the stage for a daring stand against an alien force unlike any he’s faced before.
