The Incredible Hulk #116

In "The Eve of...Annihilation," the Hulk is trapped in a sleek, unbreakable plastic prison designed by the cunning Leader, who’s now deploying a towering Super Humanoid to seize control of a missile base. With Betty Banner eavesdropping on the Leader’s plans and Colonel Talbot reluctantly drawn in, the Hulk’s escape sets off a desperate race against a mechanical menace and the threat of global catastrophe. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Herb Trimpe—with inks by Dan Adkins and lettering by Artie Simek—this 1969 classic features a cover by Trimpe that captures the tension in bold, dynamic lines.
