Hulk #1

Marvel's 1999 relaunch of Hulk arrives with a striking cover by Ron Garney and Dan Green that sets an immediate tone: a ferocious, snarling Hulk has Bruce Banner — wide-eyed and helpless — locked in his massive green fists amid an explosion of shattered debris. The cover copy says it all: "The Jade Giant like you've never seen him before," promising a fresh take on the Banner/Hulk dynamic, with Banner described as "forever in the clutches of his rage." With John Byrne handling writing, art, inking, and lettering on the interior story "The Gathering Storm," this first issue brings serious creative focus to one of Marvel's most enduring characters.
