Résumé

The second Marvel character to spring from the legendary creative collaboration of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the early 1960s was a far cry from the Fantastic Four's recognizable family dynamics and globe-trotting super heroics. The Hulk was a Monster! The alter ego of puny human scientist Bruce Banner unleashed when an experimental bomb douses the hapless scientist in Gamma radiation, and thereupon unleashed every time the mild-mannered Banner lost his temper, the Hulk exploded from comics stands into an unsuspecting world...and he hasn't stopped since.

Unquestionably one of the strangest, strongest, and most evocative archetypes to come from Marvel Comics, the Hulk defies all explanation. At times at war with other superheroes, villains, the United States military, humanity, and even his alter-ego Bruce Banner himself, he stands as an avatar of unbridled fury, primal instincts, the destructive potential of the atomic bomb and humanity's hubris all at once. A modern Prometheus, imbued by atomic fire, who will never stop raging, never stop smashing.

Now, TASCHEN brings you the Hulk as you've never seen him before, in an XXL-size volume worthy of his name. Collecting The Incredible Hulk Nos. 1-6, along with his appearances in Tales to Astonish. All issues have been photographed using TASCHEN's sterling reproduction methods, resembling the way these comics first looked when initially published, while also being digitally remastered using modern retouching techniques to correct problems with the era's inexpensive, imperfect printing.

An introduction by pop-culture and comic scholar Douglas Wolk, meticulously researched and adorned with rarely seen original art, photos, and paraphernalia showcasing the Hulk's lasting impact on global culture, rounds out this massive package to honor of the biggest, meanest, and greenest superheroes of all time.

Also available in a Collector's Edition of 1,000 numbered copies
