About the series
In Hulk: Gray, writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale return to the earliest days of the Jade Giant, re-examining Bruce Banner’s transformation and his fraught relationship with Betty Ross through a noir-tinted lens. This six-issue Marvel limited series from 2003–2004 strips the Hulk back to his foundational, monstrous roots, focusing on the tension between Banner, General "Thunderbolt" Ross, and the emerging threat of Doc Samson. Loeb and Sale’s signature style—expressive, shadow-drenched art paired with raw, emotional storytelling—offers a poignant character study of the man and the monster, making it a definitive take on the Hulk’s origin era.
