In "The Brute That Shouted Love at the Heart of the Atom," the Hulk arrives on Jarella's world with Bruce Banner’s mind intact, only to find her city in ruins and her captured by the scheming Lord Visis. With help from Jarella’s people and a desperate fight against Visis’s deadly ally Krylar, the Hulk must confront not just external threats, but the terrifying duality within himself when fear-based magic forces him to face his own monstrous past. Written by Archie Goodwin and brought to life by Herb Trimpe’s dynamic art and Sal Trapani’s inks, this 2008 Marvel tale features a striking cover by Dave Cockrum.
