Marvel Masterworks: The Incredible Hulk #2
"Enter: The Hulk" marks a pivotal moment in the Hulk's saga, showcasing Stan Lee's sharp storytelling and Steve Ditko's iconic art, with George Bell's inks adding depth to the eerie, high-stakes atmosphere. When the Hulk is captured in unbreakable restraints, his vulnerability as Bruce Banner is exposed—only to be tested when his old friend Rick rushes to his aid, and the mysterious Leader sends the Chameleon to Gamma Base to uncover the truth. With Talbot and Banner locked in a tense standoff and Betty held hostage, the Hulk’s rage is pushed to the edge, setting the stage for a clash of wits and strength. The cover by Jack Kirby and John Romita captures the intensity of the moment, a striking visual that perfectly frames the chaos to come.

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 leaves Cap's side to go help his original super pal. 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 last ish). 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.
