The Incredible Hulk #299

September 1984 brings a genuinely striking confrontation on the cover of The Incredible Hulk #299, as Doctor Strange — red-caped and straining with outstretched hands — unleashes crackling pink magical energy directly at a snarling, wide-eyed Hulk. Frank Cirocco's cover art frames the two figures in sharp diagonal tension, the mystical chains and energy lines connecting sorcerer and monster in a way that feels both dynamic and genuinely unsettling. With Bill Mantlo writing and Sal Buscema on interior art, "Strange Days Have Found Us!" promises the kind of Marvel storytelling that made this era of the title so compelling.
