“Today Is the First Day of the Rest of My Life”

In "Today Is the First Day of the Rest of My Life," Bruce Banner begins writing his memoirs while Scott Lang oversees the construction of a new lab for Stark Industries—only for the unexpected arrival of Zzzax to force Banner into becoming the Hulk once more. Written by Bill Mantlo and brought to life by Sal Buscema’s dynamic art, with Chic Stone’s inks and Bob Sharen’s colors, this 1983 issue captures a pivotal moment in Banner’s journey, all under Ron Wilson’s cover pencils and Joe Sinnott’s inks.
