Marvel Comics

The origin of one of Marvel's most enduring characters, presented in its purest form. Stan Lee and Jack Kirby launched the Hulk in 1962 as a tragic figure — scientist Bruce Banner transformed by gamma radiation into a creature driven by rage and fear. This omnibus collects the character's earliest adventures, including the original six-issue Hulk series and key appearances in Tales to Astonish, capturing a period when Marvel was rewriting the rules of superhero fiction. Kirby's dynamic layouts and Lee's emotionally charged scripting give these stories a raw, urgent energy that still holds up. An indispensable piece of Marvel history and the foundation for every Hulk story told since.
