Issue Description

From dim, dark caverns beneath the earth comes…Mogol the Mighty! Strong enough to defeat the Hulk- or to help Hulk destroy the world!

Mogol!

Tyrannus sends his ultimate warrior Mogol to befriend The Hulk and recruit him for his army. However Hulk remembers Tyrannus tried to hurt him in the past and attacks Mogul. A titanic battle begins that destroys numerous cars and properties, with The Hulk having yet another building dropped on him! The two behemoths end up underground and find their strength to be equal. Mogol senses Hulk’s loneliness reflects his own and extends a hand of friendship. A cautious Hulk finally accepts and the two are teleported to Tyrannus’ subterranean city where they help build his army for an attack on Mole Man.

During the invasion of Mole Man’s city, Mogol is shot by a heat ray and is revealed to be a robot. Mogol himself was unaware of this as Tyrannus had programmed him to feel emotions and told him he was a living creature. However an enraged Hulk doesn’t believe his friend and feels betrayed and tricked. In his anger, the Jade Giant tears Mogol in half and crushes his CPU. Mogol refuses to retaliate and to his last seconds protests his innocence, pleading with Hulk he really was his friend. After destroying the robot, Hulk leaps back to Tyrannus’ city and in revenge leaves it in complete ruins. With his vengeance complete, the confused monster walks away wondering if he really did kill his only friend.

Volume Description

Continued from Tales to Astonish Vol.1 which was originally one of several anthology comics published by Marvel in the 1960's featuring one-shot monsters in their own tales. Over the years the series began to focus more upon some of the anti-heroes still famous to this day such as the Sub-Mariner and The Incredible Hulk. That is why, after 101 issues, that series changed its name to The Incredible Hulk with issue #102. Under this new name the series lasted thirty more years until it finally concluded with issue #474. The series was then revamped with a new number one and a new title, simply called Hulk (1998).

Although it started out as Tales to Astonish, this is actually the second volume to be entitled "The Incredible Hulk", the first, The Incredible Hulk (1962), having begun publication six years earlier, although it only lasted six issues.
