Marvel Super-Heroes #45
In "The Abomination," Stan Lee and Gil Kane deliver a tense, pivotal moment in the Hulk's saga as the Stranger's departure leaves Bruce Banner vulnerable. With the Hulk unleashed and Banner desperate to end the destruction, a desperate act at Gamma base takes a shocking turn—when a foreign spy is transformed into the terrifying Abomination, a far more powerful foe than the Hulk himself. The cover by Ron Wilson, Larry Lieber, and Frank Giacoia captures the chaos, as the new menace escapes with Betty in tow.

The Stranger leaves earth with the rampaging Hulk left behind to wreak destruction on his behalf. Turning back into his alter ego, Banner surrenders himself to Gamma base and tries to kill himself with radiation to stop the Hulk's destruction. Stopped before he can use his gamma machine, the machine is instead used by a foreign spy who is transformed into the Abomination. More powerful than even the Hulk, Abomination beats the jade giant down and kidnaps Betty as he escapes from the base.
