☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "When Attuma Strikes!", Bruce Banner—jailed and struggling to suppress his Hulk persona with tranquilizers—faces a new threat when Rick Jones appeals directly to the president, securing Banner’s release. Sent to Astra Island to oversee the experimental absorbatron, Banner soon finds himself battling a wave of mind-controlled Humanoids unleashed by the Leader, while the island’s defenses are tested against an unseen force. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko, with inks by George Bell and lettering by Artie Simek, the issue features a dynamic cover by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers.
When a frustrated Hank lashes out at Jan during a lab experiment, her hurt leads her to flee on a plane—only to be captured by Atlanteans in Attuma's latest assault on the surface world. Remorseful and realizing his mistake, Giant-Man must now race to save her before the underwater kingdom's ambitions reach their peak.
When a horde of Humanoids descends on Astra Island, the Hulk must confront the overwhelming threat while grappling with the lingering effects of tranquilizers and the weight of his past. With the president’s trust restored and Banner’s fate tied to the success of the absorbatron, the line between hero and monster blurs as the island becomes a battleground.
