Hercules: Prince of Power

In 1988, Marvel gave the legendary strongman his own spotlight with Hercules: Prince of Power, a single-issue comic that pairs the god of strength with the creative team of Bob Layton, who both wrote and illustrated the story alongside inker Sam de la Rosa. This one-shot captures the Olympian hero in a standalone adventure, showcasing his larger-than-life personality and brawn in the classic Marvel style of the era. While brief, it stands as a distinct, creator-driven take on the character from a period when Marvel often experimented with solo outings for its secondary heroes.
