Product Description:
Dr. Robert Bruce Banner may have the appearance of a mild-mannered scientist, but after being caught in gamma bomb explosion, he became the unstoppable engine of destruction know as the Incredible Hulk! Marvel is proud to present the tales of the everyone's favorite man-monster from the very beginning: From the earliest Stan Lee and Jack Kirby issues that put an irradiated angle on the Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde complex to the Steve Ditko's psychological slobbernockers in Tales to Astonish and the Jade Giant's return to his solo series, this Hulk-sized collection is the foundation for every purple-pants'd adventure ever! Featuring artwork by a who's who of Marvel Age luminaries and scripts by Stan "The Man" Lee, they'll introduce to you to General Thunderbolt Ross; the tortured woman who loves both the man and the monster, Betty Ross; the Leader; the Abomination; and a series of earth-shaking fights between the Hulk and the Silver Surfer, Thor, Giant-Man, Namor, Hercules, and more! Collecting the first adventures of the Jade Giant in one painstakingly restored volume with every page, every pin-up, and every letters column. Not to mention unused covers, critical essays, and bonuses galore! Collects Hulk #1-6, Tales to Astonish #59-101, and Incredible Hulk #102.

Rating: - "That ever lovin Hulk! Hulk! Hulk!"
What a great collection of stories! I am also a huge fan of the 1966 cartoon and it is fun to go back and compare the original stories with the ones they "animated" for the show.

The first 100 pages are great, (Kirby, Ditko) but I kind of wish I could have just purchased that section alone. There is some pretty bad art in here. I bought the book at close to 40% off and I'd say that 40% (or more) of the art is sub-par, so I guess it's fair. I'd recommend this book to really ... Read More

Rating: - Book Smash!
Careful or this super-heavy book will smash something in your house. It's giant-sized and it's format is fitting for the incredible Hulk. Like all the omnibus collections this is an incredible value.

Rating: - Stan Lee wrote so well these are great even today
I love these marvel omnibus editions and catching up on the beginnings of the Hulk was even better than I expected! Excellent Stan Lee writing and creation and character development make these excellent to have in your collection if you're going for full runs, which I'd love to have.

Binding is great on this book, but I have had problems with Tomb of Dracula and Secret Wars II. Get the binding right, Marvel!

I loved Kirby's Hulk, I loved all the different artists handling the ... Read More
