The Incredible Hulk #259
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeAn unusual alliance takes center stage in this May 1981 issue, as the cover — illustrated by Pat Broderick and Al Milgrom — promises the Hulk teaming up with the Soviet Super-Soldiers to face the towering, metallic menace known as the Source Sinister. The composition is a swirling blast of action, crowding in the Hulk alongside several costumed Soviet heroes — including a winged figure, a woman in white, and a red-clad warrior — all arrayed against the enormous golden-armored villain looming at upper right. It's a genuinely fun Cold War-era clash of unlikely allies, with Bill Mantlo scripting and Sal Buscema providing interior art.
