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.
