Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Subject Matter
Character(s): The Hulk (also as Bruce Banner); Doc Samson; General Ross; Betty Ross; Glenn Talbot; Doctor Doom
Synopsis: As Bruce is being pursued by the police, he is picked up by Dr. Doom's limo and taken to the Latverian embassy. When Ross and his contingent of soldiers show up to ask Doom to relinquish his guest, he releases a Hulk robot instead. The army quickly destroys the robot, thinking they have done away with the real thing; Bruce bristles at the thought of having Doom as his savior so the villain gasses him and takes him back to Latveria. Doom uses his "subliminal inducer" on Banner, hoping to make both he and his monstrous alter-ego his willing servants.

The Hulk, not too happy about being controlled, comes close to crushing Doom like a tin can before he leaps off into the sunset.

Matt invokes Bruce's civil rights and demands that Ross give him a stimulant so he can talk to his client coherently. Ross reluctantly complies and Bruce quickly turns into the Hulk, who bursts from the plane to find the FF waiting for him on the tarmac of JFK.

Jonah Jameson; Peter Parker (also as Spider-Man)
Synopsis: On a runway at JFK airport, Mr. Fantastic brings the Hulk down with his newly devised Nega-Gamma Gun. The Hulk is placed in heavy restraints and is put on trial for his crimes. After testimony in the case, both pro and con, Matt pulls a stunt out of his lawyer's bag of tricks and quickly proves that the Hulk is too mentally incompetent to stand trial. As the judge tries to figure out how to proceed, Reed shows up with his special gun and claims it will change the Hulk into Bruce Banner for good. Instead, it provides the Hulk with the strength to break free and escape.

Disclose Notes: This issue was originally produced as inventory when Marvel went to a 25 cent size. It was then published in 2 parts with additional pages. Trimpe drew Avengers and Iron Man figures on pages 15-16 and pages 18-21.

Reed's seeming act of mercy toward the Hulk at the end of the story turns out to be a sham as the last four panels depict the Hulk weakening and crashing into a building which covers him in rubble. This seems to indicate that Reed knew the Hulk would get a sudden burst of strength followed by debilitating weakness. The captions go even further and insinuate that Reed may have actually been trying to kill the Hulk. Regardless, the Hulk is up again next issue with nothing more than a scant reference to this incident.
