Marvel Year Two: The Hulk

They're still messing with the format - Banner is still using the gamma ray projector to change back and forth, but the results are becoming unpredictable.  He started getting buff as Banner, the change takes longer, and he even changes bodies but not heads.


We're introduced to the Teen Brigade, a nationwide network of ham radio operators who assist Rick Jones and the Hulk, or would if the series wasn't cancelled.  But don't worry, true believers, the Bruce Banner and his nerd rage will be back soon in the pages of the Avengers...where he leaves after the second issue.  In between the cancellation of Hulk and appearing in Avengers, Banner kept himself in purple pants money by making himself up as a robot and working in the circus.


We'll see much more of this green-skinned loveable lug in future years.

(Hulk 5-6, The Avengers 1-2)

Included in Incredible Hulk Epic Collection: Man Or Monster? in Kindle and Paperback
