In "Rampage in the City!", the Hulk, abandoned at Gamma Base and searching for familiar faces among the Avengers, crashes into New York City only to be met with hostility from the police.

Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Bill Everett, Jerry Grandenetti, Gene Colan, and Jack Kirby, with inks by Everett, Ayers, Tartaglione, Esposito, and Brodsky, and lettering by Artie Simek, the issue’s cover by Gene Colan and Dick Ayers captures the tension of a city on edge.
