“The Circus of Lost Souls!”

In "The Circus of Lost Souls!", the Hulk finds unexpected kinship with a troupe of former circus performers, each carrying their own hidden pasts. Written by Len Wein and brought to life with dynamic art by Sal Buscema and Ernie Chan, this 1977 issue explores connection and belonging in a world that often rejects the outcast. The cover by Jim Starlin captures the eerie, dreamlike tone of the story, hinting at a journey deeper than the circus tent might suggest.
