In "He Who Strikes the Silver Surfer," the Hulk, convinced the Silver Surfer is a dangerous alien craft, charges into battle with the cosmic being—only to be effortlessly subdued. The Surfer, intrigued by the Hulk’s rage and the source of his power, begins to investigate the gamma radiation that transformed Bruce Banner, offering a chance to undo the damage. But when the Hulk awakens mid-act, mistaking the Surfer’s healing intent for an assault, the moment shatters—and the Surfer departs, leaving the Hulk more determined than ever to track him down. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated with dynamic precision by Marie Severin, with inks by Frank Giacoia and letters by Artie Simek, this 1975 issue features a cover by Marie Severin and Frank Giacoia that captures the clash in bold, striking detail.
