The Buyer's Guide for Comics Fandom #477

Jan 1983 · DynaPubs Enterprises · 1.00 USD

In this 1983 gem from DynaPubs Enterprises, Fred Hembeck channels his inner rage over a long-standing comic book inconsistency—specifically, the Hulk being called David Bruce Banner in Hulk #279 instead of the original Robert Bruce Banner. The comic captures Hembeck’s trademark humor as he takes his frustration to absurd lengths, culminating in a legendary phone-smashing moment with Jim Shooter. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Hembeck himself, this issue is a hilarious, self-aware dive into fandom obsession, all delivered with the sharp wit and cartoonish flair that defined his work.

Fred complains that the Hulk is called David Bruce Banner in Hulk #279 instead of Robert Bruce Banner, which was tagged on the Hulk in 1964. He gets so "Hulked" up, he calls Jim Shooter and smashes the phone.
