The Incredible Hulk #5

Jan 1963 · Marvel · 0.12 USD
“Beauty and the Beast!”

In "Beauty and the Beast!", the Hulk faces off against General Fang, a would-be conqueror seeking to seize control of the Asian province of Llhasa, using only one disguise as the Abominable Snowman to outwit him. As the battle unfolds, Rick Jones grows increasingly concerned—watching the Hulk’s growing aggression and his mounting resistance to returning to his human form, Bruce Banner. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by Jack Kirby, inks by Dick Ayers, and colors by Stan Goldberg, this 1963 classic features a cover by Kirby and Ayers that captures the story’s eerie, high-stakes tension.

The Hulk thwarts a would-be Genghis Khan conqueror named General Fang from taking over the Asian province of Llhasa, and he only has to dress up as the Abominable Snowman once to do it. Rick Jones notices that the Hulk is becoming more aggressive and is more and more reluctant to change back to Bruce Banner.
