The Incredible Hulk Omnibus Vol. 2

Background. Following its early years under Jack Kirby, The Incredible Hulk passed through the hands of several artists until Herb Trimpe became the series’ regular artist in the 1970s. Trimpe defined the Hulk’s visual identity for an entire generation of readers and remains the artist to whom one always turns for a classic reference. This volume brings together the Lee-Trimpe era and the issues that immediately followed.

What’s inside. The second historic run of The Incredible Hulk, featuring material from the Stan Lee and Herb Trimpe era, along with additional contributors. It includes the classic story arcs from the 1970s, with the Hulk facing off against the military, the Leader, the Juggernaut and other foundational villains of the character. Main art by Herb Trimpe.

Why it’s worth it. This is classic Marvel historical material. Herb Trimpe is the definitive artist for the 1970s Hulk, and his work in this volume is considered canonical. For readers who want to understand why the Hulk became one of Marvel’s most popular characters in that decade, it is essential reading. Furthermore, this edition allows you to read the entire run without any gaps.
