The Hulk

Yet more comics stuff you're probably unaware of, unless you keep up with your comics.

As we said earlier today, in regard to Wonder Woman, we were avid comic readers in our day, from grammar school through college. As far as higher education was concerned, there was a bookstore downtown that sold out-of-date comics in the basement, at bargain-basement prices. You could stock up on a five-year supply of whatever, but mostly Marvels. Thor, the Silver Surfer, Spidey—they were all there. And the Hulk, of course. My fellow scholars and I spent many happy hours collecting and reading these volumes.

The Hulk has gone through a lot of changes over the years. He got tossed into a goofy TV show, for one thing, and there have been a couple of movies, but meanwhile, he's still had his magazine life. Until the final issue.

And then he is reborn. Wreaks some havoc.

And then there's the final issue.

And then he is reborn. Wreaks some havoc.

He's green.

He's gray.

And then there's the final issue.

And then he is reborn. Wreaks some havoc.

He's red (and not Bruce Banner).

And then there's the final Bruce Banner issue.

I may be getting some of this out of order. For an up-to-date look at the life, and death, and life, and death, and life, etc., of the Hulk, check out Gallery: The Evolution Of The Hulk In Comics.
