I'm going to have to hunt down the BWS story, I SO LOVE HIS ART! (Remember I'm a HUGE Conan fan and issue #16 was the first comic I ever owned, even OVER a Hulk comic) I NEED THIS STORY WHEN IT COMES OUT!
Yeah, leave it to Marvel to jack up a good thing!

312 really did form the backbone of David's run. I have to say I was pretty shocked years later when I heard that Mantlo essentially plagiarised this story from Barry Windsor Smith's unpublished Hulk story.
It will be interesting to compare the two fully once Windsor Smith completes it as an original graphic novel called "The Monster"
The other highlight of 312: Mike Mignola art! Although I have to say that Gerry Talaoc's scratchy inks don't fit Mignola's pencils very well.
The biggest disappointment of Jenkin's aborted run was that we never got to see the "Devil" Hulk subplot play out.
Marvel really does go back and forth editorially quite a bit when it comes to "Hulk Smash" versus the Multiple Personality Disorder Hulk.Last edited by samurainoir; Jul 9, '09, 1:37 PM.Leave a comment:

OH! 312! The actual "Origin" issue. Such a GREAT comic! I own 10 copies of this comic just for people to read when they ask about his origin. This one,#250, #300, #316-#320 #25 (the one where he LITERALLY knocks Abomination's block off) and World War Hulk are needed reads if you want to understand the Hulk. Jenkins is such a wonderful writer, the creator of my handle "The Sentry". Also giving Banner Lou Gherig's disease and having the Hulk's help save his life was such a great treat, you NEVER knew what Hulk you were going to get each month.Leave a comment:

My Hulk collection starts up just about where yours leaves off! As a kid, I began at Hulk 312 during the Secret Wars II crossover with Alpha Flight just before John Byrne jumped on board as writer/artist and continues to this day.
My favourite eras are the Peter David/Dale Keown years and the short lived Paul Jenkins run where he picked up on the Multiple Personalities threads that David had laid down.Leave a comment:

*strolls in with glee* Well well, I see some comics I don't have! Honestly, around when you quit was when he got MORE interresting. The different personalities, the deeper story line. Great stuff! Anything Peter David does is gold IMHO! Well, another Hulk lover around here! *reaches out hand* Nice to meet you!Leave a comment:

I LOVE Jack Kirby's work and I think he did the best job with the Fantastic Four. I wish someone could make a Jack Kirby sculpt of the Thing. Now THAT would be ultra-cool!

Incredible Hulk
Hi,I'm a collector of Marvel comic character:The Incredible Hulk,I've got almost all comic books from start to almost 300 where I kinda lost interest...
I admire the work of Jack Kirby et Joe sinnott.
I bought many comics when I was a kid and when I grew up,these were throw
away...now as an adult I wanted to have these back and started to collect them around 2 years ago...I only have a dozen or so numbers that I'm looking
to add as soon as I'll find a fair price...
Are-there any HULK comics collectors on MM?
"Don't make me angry...you wouldn't like me when I'm angry..."
ROAR!
