Hulk #18

This December 1979 Marvel magazine-format issue puts the Hulk front and center in a stunning cover by Bob Larkin — the green-skinned powerhouse stands on a stormy beach, fists raised against crackling lightning, while a woman crouches in the surf behind him, the tropical setting hinting at something wild and dangerous afoot. Inside, the cover copy promises all-new stories and art, including "Cast Away," a tale of the Hulk stranded alone on a forgotten island with terror as his only companion, plus a Moon Knight saga titled "Shadows in the Heart of the City." With Marvel Color bringing the TV sensation to vivid life on the page, this is a fine slice of late-'70s Marvel ambition packed into one hefty issue.
