Hulk #32
In "Wendepunkt!", the Hulk, convinced the Silver Surfer is an alien threat, charges into battle with the only being on Earth he can't overpower. After a brief clash leaves him unconscious, the Surfer discovers the truth behind Hulk's rage—the devastating toll of gamma radiation—and begins to heal Dr. Banner. But when Hulk awakens and mistakes the Surfer’s healing intent as an assault, he refuses the help and vows to track the cosmic being down. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with bold energy by Marie Severin (pencils and colors) and Frank Giacoia (inks), this 1976 issue captures a rare moment of introspection and tension, with Severin’s dynamic cover capturing the clash of titans.

Having 'caught' the Silver Surfer (believing him to be an alien starship), Hulk starts a fight with perhaps the only being on Earth stronger than Hulk is. The Surfer, irritated, knocks him out, then probes Hulk to discover the reason for his belligerence and discovers the damage done by the gamma radiation. Just as the Surfer prepares to reverse the damage and return Dr. Banner's life, Hulk wakes up and, seeing the action as an attack, lashes out. Disgusted, the Surfer leaves while Hulk vows to find the Surfer again and force him to take Hulk to the stars.
