Tales to Astonish #88
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "A Stranger Strikes from Space!", the Hulk’s uneasy truce with the military hits a snag when the President, swayed by new evidence, orders General Ross to pardon him—only for the Boomerang to exploit the moment, reigniting the Hulk’s rage with a calculated provocation. Stan Lee’s sharp script and Gil Kane’s dynamic art bring the clash to life, capturing the tension between redemption and chaos, while Gene Colan’s cover art delivers a striking, otherworldly preview of the cosmic threat on the horizon.
When a massive alien robot tumbles from a passing spacecraft and lands in the ocean depths, it falls into the hands of Attuma—unwittingly handing him a weapon to unleash against Namor and Atlantis. With the robot’s power at his command, the Atlantean warlord sets his sights on revenge, turning an accidental gift into a deadly threat.
In "Boomerang and the Brute!", the Hulk’s reputation takes a turn when the President orders his pardon if the danger has passed—just as the cunning Boomerang seizes the moment to provoke the jade giant into a fresh rampage. With Ross still seeing him as a threat, the Hulk must face off against the sneaky, fashion-challenged Boomerang in a clash of brute strength and devious tactics.
