Marvelserien #8
"En Superhjältes Födelse" marks a pivotal moment in the early Marvelserien run, featuring a rare collaboration between Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Bill Everett on interior art. In this 1967 issue, the Hulk is dragged into the subterranean realm of Tyrannus, where the aged ruler pleads for help reclaiming the Fountain of Youth from the Mole Man—only to reveal he’s holding Rick, Betty, and Glenn hostage. With the Mole Man’s Octo-Sapien robot on the attack, the Hulk’s rage is unleashed, leading to a dramatic transformation that brings Bruce Banner back to the surface. The cover by John Romita captures the chaos in bold, dynamic lines.

The Hulk is pulled into the underground kingdom of Tyrannus who has been separated from the fountain of youth and has become a feeble old man. The Jade Giant's old foe asks for his help in retaking the fountain from his rival, the Mole Man, and he makes his argument for assistance stronger by revealing that he has captured Rick, Betty and Glenn. When Betty mentions Banner, Hulk goes wild but his destruction is put to an abrupt end as the Mole Man attacks. The Hulk fights Mole Man's powerful Octo-Sapien robot and falls into the fountain of youth which transforms him back into Banner.
