“And Now...The Space Parasite!”

In "And Now...The Space Parasite!", the Hulk finds himself caught in a bizarre cosmic game when a malevolent alien entity, drawn to his power, descends on Earth to siphon his strength. Written by Gary Friedrich and brought to life with dynamic art by Marie Severin and inks by Frank Giacoia, this 1976 issue delivers a wild, high-stakes showdown that sees the Hulk pitted against an otherworldly threat—only for the Parasite’s own planet to intervene in a shocking twist. The cover, also by Marie Severin with inks by Frank Giacoia, captures the moment of alien intrusion with bold, pulpy flair.
