Marvel Super-Heroes #77

This 1978 Marvel Super-Heroes reprint package puts the spotlight squarely on the Hulk with a cover that crackles with raw physical energy — Herb Trimpe and Dan Adkins deliver a dramatic collision between the green-skinned powerhouse and the hulking, bald Absorbing Man, whose signature wrecking ball and chain swing menacingly through a space-like backdrop as the two titans trade blows. The tagline "And Now — the Absorbing Man!" sets up the matchup perfectly, and the cover's dynamic diagonal composition makes it clear neither combatant is holding anything back. Tying into the Hulk's profile as "Marvel's TV Sensation" of the era, this is a satisfying slice of late-'70s Marvel muscle.
