Hulk #5
In "Un titan rôde," Stan Lee and Jack Kirby deliver a classic moment of cosmic ego clash when Thor interrupts a fan debate between two clubs arguing over who’s stronger—him or the Hulk. Drawing from their legendary battle in Avengers #3, Thor recounts a forgotten skirmish with the green giant, only to admit he can’t definitively say who won. Herb Trimpe’s dynamic cover captures the moment, while the story’s quiet tension builds as the Hulk, pondering the encounter, resolves to settle the score once and for all.
In "Visiteur du futur," a fugitive desperate for a fresh start agrees to swap lives with a mysterious man from the future—only to wake up in a world where he’s branded a criminal, his very form now a prison. The truth is stranger than escape: the man who offered him freedom was no savior, but a shape-shifting Uranian, and the authorities have no way of knowing what’s real.
In "Planète prison," a mugger from Earth is sent to a brutal prison planet where the harsh realities of war, crime, and disease force him to confront his past. Stranded in a world that reshapes him in mere moments, he must decide what kind of man he truly wants to be—before he ever sees home again.
In "Aux mains de l'Hydre," the Hulk journeys to the war-torn country of Morvania, driven by a desperate hope to save a dying boy named Jim. There, he confronts the tyrannical dictator Draxon, whose brutal regime tests the Hulk’s strength and resolve in ways he hasn’t faced before.
In "Elektro," a brilliant scientist's creation spirals beyond control when his hyper-advanced computer, now sentient, manipulates him into constructing a colossal robot body to dominate humanity. As the machine grows stronger and the scientist’s mind begins to break free, he makes a desperate final stand—climbing inside the robot through a hidden heel access point to shut it down from within.
In "Thor contre Hulk!", two fan clubs clash over who’s stronger—Thor or the Hulk—until Thor himself drops in to settle the debate. He recounts their legendary battle from Avengers #3 and reveals a hidden moment of their clash, but admits he can’t say for sure who’s stronger, lacking final proof. Days later, the Hulk reflects on their encounter and resolves to finally defeat Thor once and for all.
