Giant-Size Defenders #1

In "The Way They Were" Part 1: Banished to Outer Space, Rick is tricked into launching the Hulk into space under the guise of a national security test, only to realize too late that General Ross used him to eliminate his enemy. Trapped in the void, the Hulk returns to Earth transformed—now permanently in his monstrous form and bound to Rick’s will, as long as Rick stays awake.

In "[The Way They Were] Part 3, To Catch a Magician!", Doctor Strange finds himself entangled in a dangerous game when he confronts Mr. Rasputin, a descendant of the infamous mystic with ambitions of global control. As Strange tracks the sorcerer through a web of deception and hidden agendas, he must outwit both a cunning foe and a hired assassin sent to silence him—before the man's dark plans come to full fruition.
