“Big Monster on Campus!”

In "Big Monster on Campus!", Bruce Banner struggles to balance his dual identity, turning to the only man who might understand—Dr. Samson, PhD. Written by Roger Stern and brought to life by Sal Buscema’s dynamic art and Joe Sinnott’s sharp inks, this 1978 issue explores Bruce’s inner turmoil with grounded intensity. The cover by Ernie Chan captures the tension with a striking, campus-set image of the Hulk in a moment of quiet reckoning.
