☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Epic Collection volume brings together the Hulk's adventures from the late 1970s, featuring Bruce Banner's struggle with his monstrous alter ego as he faces threats like the sentinel-building Master Mold and clashes with fellow heroes including Iron Man, Thor, and the X-Men. The collection also delves into Banner's personal life with supporting characters like Jim Wilson and Doc Samson, while introducing the android hero Machine Man into the Hulk's world. Spanning issues from the era, this volume captures the Hulk's journey from mindless rage to a more complex, hunted figure in the Marvel Universe.
In "The Monster's Analyst," the Hulk finds himself drawn into a high-stakes clash when Angel arrives at Gamma Base, pursued by the relentless Master Mold and a mysterious Sentinel. With Iceman caught in the crossfire and the fate of two mutants hanging in the balance, the Hulk’s raw power becomes the last hope in a battle that pushes both hero and machine to their limits. Written by John Byrne and Roger Stern, with art by Byrne and inks by Bob Layton, this gripping tale unfolds with intensity and precision, while the cover by Herb Trimpe and Joe Rubinstein captures the chaos in bold, dynamic strokes.
In "The Evil That Is Cast...", Iceman finds himself in the middle of a sudden crisis when a mysterious Sentinel attacks his rendezvous with a new love at Angel's apartment. With the Master Mold pursuing them, Angel races to Gamma Base, dragging the Hulk into a fight that threatens to tear the world apart. The trio's desperate struggle unfolds in the chaos of a collapsing station, culminating in a high-stakes return to Earth.
In "...At the Bottom of the Bay!", the Hulk races through the depths of San Francisco Bay in a relentless pursuit of Curtiss Jackson, rescuing Fred Sloan along the way before the fugitive slips away. When SHIELD’s Marvel Man steps in to stop him, the Hulk’s power proves too much—one punch is all it takes to bring the super-agent down.
In "...And Now El Dorado," the Hulk stumbles into the lost Incan city of El Dorado, where he confronts the enigmatic ruling triumvirate known as They Who Wield Power. Meanwhile, at Gamma Base, Betty Ross discovers that Doc Samson has secretly taken her father to a secluded retreat for treatment, and in San Francisco, Fred Sloan reaches out to Betty, hoping she can help him with his book on the Hulk.
In "Partners in Deception!", the Hulk finds himself trapped as the Flame siphons his strength, but when one of the enigmatic beings behind the scheme betrays the group, a long-buried secret surfaces—revealing a foe from the past with a personal stake in the game.
In "Sic Semper Tyrannus!", the Hulk’s rage fuels his fight against the tyrannical Tyrannus, but when his enemy merges with the Flame, the stakes escalate in ways neither combatant could have foreseen. The battle tests the limits of strength, will, and what it means to be a force of destruction.
In "Death--and Destiny!", the Hulk pushes his relentless assault on the tower holding the Sacred Flame, triggering a cosmic surge that sends the flame—now fused with Tyrannus—racing into space. Teleported to New York, Hulk and Goldbug are swiftly captured, with Goldbug handed over to Cage and Iron Fist for interrogation by the police. Meanwhile, Fred Sloan presses on with his interviews of Betty Ross, while Colonel Glenn Talbot, newly in command at Gamma Base, vows to finally bring the Hulk to heel.
In "It Lives!", the Hulk crashes a Hollywood gala in Los Angeles, mistaken for a threat as spotlights flare around him. When actor Grant Marshall’s new husband, Bob O’Bryan, transfers his mind into the Living Colossus to stop the rampaging giant, he’s quickly overpowered by the sinister Dr. Vault, who hijacks the statue’s form to take control. As the Colossus crumbles under the Hulk’s fury, the true cost of the mind swap begins to show—Dr. Vault’s failing body collapses under the strain, and Bob and Diane are left watching the Hulk vanish into the night.
