Incredible Hulk Epic Collection #2

Oct 2017 · Marvel · 39.99 USD; 52.00 CAD
“The Incredible Hulk”

"The Incredible Hulk" in this Epic Collection #2 collects a classic run from Stan Lee and Steve Ditko, showcasing the early days of the Hulk’s struggle with identity and control. When the Hulk is trapped in unbreakable restraints, he slips free only to return as Bruce Banner—prompting Rick Jones to leave Captain America’s side in search of his friend. The mysterious Leader sends the Chameleon to Gamma Base to investigate a missing agent, setting off a tense game of deception as the impostor Banner tries to steal a gamma grenade with Betty as a hostage, only to be outwitted by the Hulk. The cover by Jack Kirby and Bill Everett captures the era’s bold energy, while the interior art by Ditko and inks by Bell bring the psychological intensity to life.

The Hulk is captured in unbreakable restraints but slips through them when he turns back into Banner. Hearing that his buddy has been captured, Rick Jones leaves Captain America's side to go help the Hulk. The mysterious Leader sends the Chameleon to Gamma Base to find out what happened to an agent who didn't report back in (probably because he ended up falling down a hole in a robot suit in the previous issue). Talbot and Banner begin their less-than-friendly rivalry. The Chameleon impersonates Banner and tries to steal a gamma grenade using Betty as a hostage, but the Hulk thwarts his plans.
