“The Origin of the Hulk”

In this classic 1975 Marvel Treasury Edition, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby (with additional art by Bill Everett) deliver a gripping tale of power and pursuit, as the Hulk faces off against the cunning Zaxon, who seeks to harness the gamma-powered giant's strength for his own ends. With the cover by John Romita capturing the clash in bold, dynamic lines, this issue showcases the Hulk’s raw might and the surprising arrival of Hercules—riding a train the Hulk himself just dismantled—leading to a showdown that ends in a standstill, not a conclusion.
