Hulk vs. Fin Fang Foom #1
In "The Fin from Outer Space," a young Taiwanese historian defies his father’s expectations and the threat of invasion by summoning the ancient dragon Fin Fang Foom—not to fight, but to protect.

This 2008 Marvel issue, featuring Jack Kirby’s original art and Dick Ayers’ inks, brings a classic cosmic clash to life with a story rooted in quiet courage and ancient power—cover by Jim Cheung and John Dell.

A young historian from Taiwan is scorned by his father for his refusal to join the army, even in the face of an imminent communist invasion. Instead of fighting directly, he crosses to the mainland to awake the dragon Fin Fang Foom. He lures the dragon to the coast to wreck the invasion fleet, and then lures it back to its lair before restoring its mystical slumber.
