The Incredible Hulk #376
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe Incredible Hulk #376 is a pivotal chapter in Peter David's landmark run because it stages the internal war between Bruce Banner's Green and Gray Hulk personas as a literal physical crisis — Banner's body warps through grotesque, part-green, part-gray amalgams in the middle of a Reno street, setting the psychological groundwork that would pay off one issue later with the debut of the Merged (Professor) Hulk in #377. The issue simultaneously serves as the true character-level introduction of the Pantheon's inner circle: Agamemnon (the immortal son of Loki operating under the alias Vali Halfling), Paris, and Atalanta all make their first appearances here, seeding the supporting cast that would anchor David's storytelling through the mid-1990s. The collision of Marlo Chandler's history as Joe Fixit's girlfriend with Banner's domestic life with Betty and Rick Jones is a masterclass in soap-operatic continuity threading, a hallmark of David's approach to the character. Together, these threads make #376 the hinge point between the Gray Hulk era and the Pantheon era that defined the book's critical reputation.

The issue was written by Peter David and illustrated by penciller Dale Keown with inks by Bob McLeod — the creative partnership that would become synonymous with the Pantheon years. Bob McLeod also co-pencilled the cover with Keown. The editors listed on the issue were Bobbie Chase and Gary Barnum, under Editor-in-Chief Tom DeFalco. Glynis Oliver provided colors. The story title 'Personality Conflict' was David's typically wry acknowledgment of the multi-persona psychological premise he had been building since the late 1980s Gray Hulk era, and the issue was released on October 16, 1990, carrying a December 1990 cover date.
