Hulk Annual #[1985]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the 1984 Marvel UK annual featuring the Hulk, showcasing the green goliath in a series of adventures. The stories pit Bruce Banner's monstrous alter ego against classic foes like the Rhino, with Aleksei Sytsevich providing a formidable physical challenge. The annual format offers a mix of original UK material and reprinted tales from the US series, capturing the Hulk's early-80s exploits.
In What If Rick Jones Had Become the Hulk?, a pivotal alternate take on the Hulk mythos, writer Gary Friedrich and artist Marie Severin (with inks by Frank Giacoia and colors by Marie Severin) explore a world where Rick Jones, not Bruce Banner, is the one transformed by gamma radiation. When the Rhino, newly outfitted with a more powerful suit, attacks during a prison transfer, the Hulk—still groggy from sedation—fights back with surprising strength, leaving the Rhino seemingly defeated. With Betty still in danger, the Hulk, seeking connection in the chaos, takes her from her father and flees into the unknown. Cover by Marie Severin.
In "Ring Around the Rhino!" from Hulk Annual #1 (1984), the Rhino—fresh from prison and lured by a new, more powerful suit—launches a violent attack during General Ross’s transfer of Bruce Banner to a new facility. Though weakened from sedation, the Hulk still rises to fight, clashing with the Rhino in a brutal showdown. After the battle, the Hulk, seeking connection in his isolation, takes Betty from her father and flees into the unknown.
