About this Collection

This trade paperback collects a selection of work by legendary artist Gil Kane, showcasing his influential runs across Marvel's Silver and Bronze Age titles. The volume features key stories from series such as The Amazing Spider-Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Captain America, highlighting Kane's dynamic figure work and innovative panel layouts. It serves as a career-spanning tribute to one of comics' most celebrated illustrators, including his iconic collaborations with writers like Stan Lee and Roy Thomas.

In "I, Against the World!", the Hulk, stranded in a distant future after a t-gun blast, finds himself battling King Arrkam’s forces before facing a shocking revelation: the true enemy is the Executioner. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by the legendary art team of Jack Kirby, Gil Kane, and Mike Esposito, with colors by Digital Chameleon and letters by Artie Simek, this 2002 Marvel Visionaries showcase blends classic sci-fi spectacle with the raw power of the Hulk’s rage. The cover, penciled by Gil Kane and inked by Joe Sinnott, captures the moment of confrontation with dramatic intensity.
