Hulk: Gray

In Hulk: Gray, writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale reunite for a Marvel limited series that revisits the earliest days of the Hulk, stripping the monster back to his raw, tragic origins. Published in 2009, this single-issue story captures the emotional turmoil of Bruce Banner's transformation through Sale's distinctive, moody artwork and Loeb's character-driven storytelling. A companion to their earlier Daredevil: Yellow and Spider-Man: Blue, it stands as a poignant, standalone exploration of the Hulk's primal fear and humanity.
