In "Where Monsters Dwell," the Hulk seeks solitude in the Canadian wilderness, only to be pulled toward a hidden cave by forces beyond his control. There, he encounters Marie, sister to the man who became the Wendigo, and her brother Georges, who have a dangerous plan to transfer the Wendigo's power to him—though their magic may not be enough. With the Wendigo awakening and the Canadian government deploying Wolverine to track the Hulk, tensions rise in a story that blends myth, madness, and the raw power of the green giant. Written by Len Wein and illustrated by Herb Trimpe, with inks by Jack Abel, colors by Glynis Wein, and letters by Artie Simek, the issue features a striking cover by Art Adams.
