Biblioteca Marvel: Hulk #1
In "Asuntos mortales," a 2004 issue from Biblioteca Marvel: Hulk, the Hulk is trapped in a bunker built by Bruce Banner while Rick Jones, seeking refuge, is captured by the military. They enlist his help to test a new rocket prototype, leading him to free the Hulk—only to reveal it’s a trap orchestrated by General Ross. As Rick tries to intervene, he’s struck by a blast, and when he returns to Earth, the Hulk attacks him. But in a startling twist, Rick discovers he can somehow control the beast—until he loses that control the moment he sleeps. The story, written by Stan Lee and Enrique Joga, features iconic art by Jack Kirby with inks by Dick Ayers, and a cover by Kirby himself.
In "Asuntos mortales," Hulk wanders a cemetery and encounters a man eerily resembling Stan Lee, who hands him a play titled *La Muerte de Brian Banner*. The performance stirs long-buried memories of Bruce's final days with his father, a time shadowed by the aftermath of his mother’s death and a violent clash that ended in Brian’s demise. Though Bruce and Hulk have long believed Brian was gone for good, the past refuses to stay buried—and the possibility of his return lingers, heavy and unresolved.
In the tense moments before the Gamma Bomb detonates, Bruce Banner rushes into the restricted zone to pull Rick Jones to safety, leaving his assistant Igor Drenkov to stop the countdown—though he doesn’t. As the blast engulfs the lab, Banner’s body begins to change, and in the aftermath, he awakens in the infirmary, already feeling the terrifying shift within.
In "Parte 2: Hulk ataca," Hulk, guided only by instinct and accompanied by Rick, stumbles toward Bruce's home in a state of confusion. There, he confronts Igor, who’s attempting to steal the Gamma bomb formula—setting the stage for a clash of brute force and desperation.
In "Parte 3: En busca de Hulk," Bruce Banner grapples with the growing mystery of his transformations as military police raid his home, only to arrest the spy Igor instead of finding the Hulk. With the truth slowly unfolding, Bruce begins to piece together a chilling pattern: his changes happen only when night falls.
In the shadow of a high-security cell, Igor sends a desperate signal to his superiors—unleashing a new threat from the Russian underworld. A disfigured scientist, known only as the Gárgola, learns of Hulk’s existence and sets course for the United States, driven by a mission to eliminate or capture the green giant.
In "Parte 5: Hulk triunfante," Bruce Banner, trapped in the Hulk form, faces off against the Gárgola in the Soviet Union, where a mysterious device bends their wills. When Bruce briefly regains control, he makes a bold offer to the disfigured Gárgola—helping him reclaim his true face in exchange for aid in escaping. The story unfolds with quiet intensity, exploring transformation and uneasy alliances in the shadow of a frozen landscape.
In "El terror de los Hombres Sapo, Parte 1: Presentando a... los Hombres Sapo," the alien Hombres Sapo descend upon Earth with a singular mission: to reclaim their lost genius. Meanwhile, Bruce and Rick venture deep into a hidden cave, hoping to trap Hulk each night—unaware that their search has just drawn the attention of something far more dangerous.
In "Parte 2: ¡Prisioneros de los Hombres Sapo!", Bruce and Rick find themselves trapped aboard an alien spacecraft after being captured by the Men Sapo. As night falls on the vessel, Bruce’s transformation into Hulk awakens a dangerous new power—though the ship’s fate hangs in the balance when Ross’s soldiers launch a desperate attack.
In "Parte 3: Bruce Banner, ¡Se busca por traidor!", Bruce Banner is discovered aboard the alien spaceship of the Sauron, leading General Ross to swiftly accuse him of betrayal—though the truth behind his presence remains shrouded in mystery.
In "Parte 4: ¡Desbocado!", El Rey Sapo threatens to crash the Moon into Earth, while Hulk breaks free from his cell and heads toward General Ross’s home. When Betty arrives and cries out for help, her father, the soldiers, and Rick are drawn to the house, setting the stage for a tense confrontation.
In "Parte 5: ¿El fin de Hulk," Hulk, driven by urgency, overpowers a group of soldiers and rushes Betty to Banner’s lab. As a sudden earthquake knocks out Rick and others, the rising sun triggers Banner’s Gamma cannon—just as the threat from the Sapo Men looms closer.
In "Desaparecido en el espacio exterior," Hulk is trapped in a bunker built by Bruce Banner while Rick Jones, seeking rest, is captured by the military and enlisted to test a new rocket prototype. Forced to free Hulk to proceed, Rick soon realizes the mission is a trap orchestrated by General Ross, and when he tries to help, he's struck by a powerful blast. As they return to Earth, Hulk turns on him—yet Rick discovers he can somehow control the rage, though his power slips away the moment he falls asleep.
In "¿Será Hulk rival para el Señor de la Pista?", Hulk must face a cunning circus master who uses hypnotic tricks to orchestrate crimes across small towns, drawing the FBI’s attention. When Rick Jones stumbles into the circus and is ensnared by its illusions, Hulk’s instincts kick in—only to be captured himself. As the FBI closes in and the circus’s traps tighten, Hulk must break free and protect Rick before the circus’s dark show ends in disaster.
In "El monstruo y la máquina," Betty Ross grows increasingly uneasy as she pieces together the connections between Hulk, Bruce Banner, and Rick Jones.

In "El gladiador del espacio exterior," Mongu, an alien warrior, arrives on Earth claiming to be a threat, prompting Hulk to confront him—only to uncover a twisted scheme by Soviet agents using the alien guise to lure and capture the Hulk.

In "¡La bella y la bestia!", Bruce Banner, Rick Jones, Betty Ross, and General "Trueno" Ross stumble upon military footage that draws the attention of Tyrannus, ruler of a hidden underground realm. When Betty is captured and taken to the subterranean kingdom, Hulk is forced to fight as a gladiator—until Rick escapes and frees her. As they search for Hulk, they find him fleeing through crumbling ruins, tearing down walls behind them to keep their pursuers at bay.
In "¡Las hordas del General Fang!", Hulk finds himself hunted by General "Trueno" Ross in a frozen trap, barely escaping before the army closes in. After regrouping with Rick, they hear a desperate radio plea from a small Asian nation under siege by the ruthless General Fang, a tyrant Bruce recognizes from his research. Determined to stop Fang before he threatens the world, Hulk sets out—only to face the danger head-on.
