Colorist(s): ?
Subject Matter
Genres: superhero
Character(s): Hulk [Bruce Banner]; General Thunderbolt Ross; Betty Ross; Glenn Talbot; Rick Jones; Boomerang [Fred Myers] (villain); Lyndon Johnson (cameo)
First Line: Stay back!
Synopsis: Since they have discovered that the Hulk is not the total villain he has been painted to be, the President tells Ross to pardon him if he thinks the threat is over. Of course, Boomerang picks that exact moment to secretly enrage the jade giant, causing him to go on another rampage and causing Ross to still see him as a menace. Hulk fights the new and improved (but still fashion-impaired) Boomerang.
