The Incredible Hulk #249

In "Jack Frost Nipping at Your Soul!", the Hulk tumbles into the frozen realm of Jack Frost, a reclusive figure who's built an icy fortress atop a remote mountain, fed up with the world above. Writer Bill Mantlo and artist Steve Ditko deliver a chilling clash of brute strength and cold ambition, as Frost’s icy domain crumbles under the Hulk’s rage—only for a surprising twist to unfold when Frost, realizing his error, tries to help the giant escape. Cover by Steve Ditko captures the stark, frozen tension of the moment, while the story ends with a shocking, unexpected arrival at General Ross’s cabin: a wounded centaur.
