The Incredible Hulk #144

In "The Monster and the Madman!", the Hulk’s fate hangs in the balance as General Ross, Betty, Glenn, and Samson believe him dead—exactly as Dr. Doom intends. With Bruce Banner now under his control through hypnotic suggestion, Doom forces him to build a gamma bomb to conquer a neighboring nation. But when Valeria intervenes, disrupting Bruce’s programming, the Hulk’s rage awakens, and the resulting clash with Doom promises to shake the very foundations of the battlefield. Written by Roy Thomas and Gary Friedrich, with dynamic art by Dick Ayers and inks by John Severin, this 1971 Marvel classic features a cover by Herb Trimpe and John Severin that captures the explosive tension of a battle between two of Marvel’s most formidable minds.
