Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Herb Trimpe, this 1978 Marvel Treasury Edition features a haunting, swamp-bound clash between two powerful beings, with Betty caught in the middle. The cover by Jeff Aclin and Tony DeZuniga captures the eerie tension of the moment, a 1.50 USD comic that stands as a standout in the era’s supernatural horror-infused superhero tales.
In "Within the Swamp, There Stirs a Glob," the Hulk crash-lands in a Florida swamp after a missile strike, only to awaken a monstrous creature born from radioactive waste—soon known as the Glob. When the Glob captures Betty, mistaking her for the woman he once loved, the Hulk must face the muck monster in a clash that tests both strength and unexpected empathy.
In "Among Us Walks the Golem," the Hulk becomes an unlikely symbol of hope when the oppressed people of Morvania rally around him, believing he is the ancient Golem risen to free them from a tyrannical ruler. As the conflict escalates, his strength and presence ignite a revolution—but not all who follow him understand the true nature of the power they've awakened.
In "Cry Hulk, Cry Havok!", the Hulk breaks free from Project Greenskin, driven by a desperate need to find Jarella. When his search leads him to mistake Lorna Dane’s green hair for hers, he clashes with her powerful boyfriend, Havok—only to be swiftly overpowered. Meanwhile, Betty and Glenn discover Bruce unconscious in the desert, where, in a fevered state, he confesses his love for Jarella to the woman he’s meant to love.
In "Frenzy on a Far-Away World," the Hulk finds himself caught in a violent clash on Counter-Earth, where he confronts the Rhino and becomes entangled in a civil war among the New Men—only to face a startling mirror in the form of his own counterpart, Bruce, who lives a life with Betty and their son Bobby. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Betty Ross prepares for her wedding to Glenn Talbot, unaware of the chaos unfolding across dimensions.
