Hulk #13
"Le piège" marks a delightfully bizarre turn in the Hulk's saga, as Bruce Banner's desperate quest for a cure is thrown into chaos by an unexpected invader: a highly evolved cockroach with grand ambitions. Written by Archie Goodwin and brought to life with dynamic energy by Herb Trimpe and John Severin, this 1978 issue delivers a rare blend of sci-fi absurdity and grounded character moments. The cover, a striking collaboration by Sal Buscema, Frank Giacoia, and John Tartaglione, captures the moment of confrontation with a mix of menace and dark humor.
In "Le piège," the Hulk, stranded in the Sahara, faces a new threat when the Israeli army attempts to subdue him—only to be outmatched by his sheer force and resilience. As he escapes on a passing plane bound for the U.S., General Ross oversees the secretive development of Project: Greenskin, while Jim arrives with a chilling warning about the Leader’s plan to replace key figures, including the president, with androids.
In "Explosion solaire," Bruce Banner is miraculously cured of the gamma radiation that transformed him into the Hulk—only to discover the cure has sent the sun into a dangerous state of instability. With the cosmos itself at risk, Jarella is dispatched to Earth, setting in motion a high-stakes journey that tests the limits of science, sacrifice, and the fragile balance between worlds.
In "L'héritier," Bruce Banner, temporarily freed from his Hulk form, dives into groundbreaking research at the Project Greenskin facility, hoping to finally cure his condition—only to be thrown off course by an unexpected threat: a hyper-intelligent cockroach with grand, world-altering ambitions. The story unfolds with a mix of scientific intrigue and absurd menace, grounded in the quiet tension of a mind racing to solve its own curse.
