The Incredible Hulk #255

In "Thunder Under the East River!", the Hulk, desperate to escape his own mind, storms through New York City, triggering a citywide panic and drawing the attention of Thor, who arrives to subdue his old ally. The clash between the two titans unfolds in a chaotic, high-stakes battle that leaves both exhausted and unable to prevail. As the dust settles, Bruce Banner—still struggling with his dual identity—sees a chance to run further and takes refuge on an Israeli freighter bound for the Mediterranean. Written by Bill Mantlo and illustrated by Sal Buscema, with colors by Bob Sharen and letters by Joe Rosen, the cover by Rich Buckler and Al Milgrom captures the epic scale of the confrontation.
