In "Et le vent hurle... Wendigo !", the Hulk seeks solitude in the Canadian wilderness, only to be pulled into a chilling mystery when he stumbles upon a cave tied to the cursed Wendigo. With the help of Marie and Georges, who aim to transfer the Wendigo’s power to restore Paul Cartier, the Hulk awakens from a magical slumber just as the creature itself appears—setting off a clash of titans. As the Canadian government dispatches Wolverine to track the Hulk, the stage is set for a storm of supernatural forces. Written by Len Wein and illustrated by Herb Trimpe, with inks by Jack Abel and colors by Glynis Wein, this 1988 issue features a striking cover by John Byrne and Jean-Yves Mitton.
