First Line: Atta girl, little partner!
Synopsis: Egghead uses a simple clothing store dummy to create a giant and powerful android which he plans on controlling mentally as it battles and defeats Giant-Man.

Captured at Last!

Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Credits
Colorist(s): ?
Subject Matter
Genres: superhero
Character(s): Hulk [Bruce Banner]; Thunderbolt Ross; Betty Ross; Major Glenn Talbot (first appearance); Banner Bot
First Line: You've finally met your master, Hulk!
Synopsis: The Hulk takes on the indestructible Banner created robot and, in one of the more dubious plot devices in comics, succeeds in kicking him down a bottomless hole when he realizes that he cannot beat the machine. Glenn Talbot arrives on gamma base sent by the Pentagon to keep an eye on the suspicious activity of Bruce Banner. Glenn decides that keeping an eye on Betty seems like a good idea as well. The Hulk is felled while saving Gamma Base from a missile and Ross captures him in a special restraint built by Bruce Banner based on a design by Tony Stark.

Disclose Notes: In the "What's My Name" department, Glen, or was that Glenn Talbot makes his debut in this issue and his name is spelled both ways within back to back story panels; It takes a good ten issues before the name settles down to only using one "N" as his name is spelled both ways interchangeably until then; Over time, the second "N" was added again and has become the standard spelling. Major Talbot refers to Betty Ross as "Miss Brant" in one panel.
