About this Collection

This volume collects the Hulk's adventures from the late 1970s, featuring stories from The Incredible Hulk #172-200 and Incredible Hulk Annual #5-6. It includes the introduction of the Hulkbusters and key battles with foes like the Abomination and the Leader, all presented in Marvel's black-and-white Essential format.

In "Sanctuary!", the Hulk arrives on Jarella's world with Bruce Banner’s mind intact, only to find the city of K'ai in ruins and Jarella taken by the traitorous Lord Visis. With help from her people and the cunning of her magicians, the Hulk fights back—until Visis unleashes the fearsome assassin Krylar and a weapon that forces the Hulk to confront his own monstrous past. Written by Archie Goodwin and brought to life by Herb Trimpe’s dynamic art and Sal Trapani’s inks, this 2006 issue features a striking cover by Trimpe and John Severin, capturing the intensity of a battle where mind and monster clash.

The Hulk arrives on Jarella's world with the mental acuity of Bruce Banner. He finds the city of K'ai in ruins and discovers that Jarella has been captured by the treacherous Lord Visis. The Hulk rescues Jarella and leads her people in revolt. That is, until Visis teams up with master assassin Krylar who has a weapon that makes one battle one's darkest fears. The weapon is turned on the Hulk and Banner in Hulk's body finds himself facing his old brutish self. Jarella's magicians counter by ending the spell that makes the Hulk smart. Pym's serum wears off and the Hulk grows back to normal size.
