Hulk: Gray #3

The midpoint of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's six-part Hulk: Gray arrives with a cover that commands attention — Tim Sale renders the gray-skinned Hulk lunging forward, teeth bared and fist raised in a raw, animalistic surge of fury rendered in moody monochrome. Sale's brushwork is at its most visceral here, stripping the figure down to muscle, shadow, and barely contained rage against a stark white background. If this series has been on your radar, issue three is a compelling reminder of what makes this creative pairing so compelling in 2004.
