The Incredible Hulk Omnibus #1 (2008) kicks off with "The Coming of the Hulk, Part 1," a landmark tale written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Steve Ditko, with inks by Geo. Bell and letters by Sam Rosen. When Bruce Banner completes an indestructible robot capable of surviving a nuclear blast, the strain triggers his transformation into the Hulk—leaving the massive machine unattended. A foreign spy seizes the moment, hijacking the robot and fleeing, forcing the Hulk into a desperate chase. Cover by Jack Kirby, this pivotal issue sets the stage for a high-stakes battle of mind and might, with Bruce Banner vowing to build a better weapon after being found in the desert by Ross and Betty.
