Issue Description

It had to happen! The Gamma-Green Giant takes on the mighty Avengers. And in the middle of the San Andreas Fault, too! Will Earth's Mightiest be enough against the rage of the Hulk?

And In This Corner... The Avengers!

The Hulk is lost in Subterranea after battling Mole Man and Tyrannus (issue #127). As he looks for a way out, he causes massive earthquakes that are endangering cities on the surface. General Ross enlists the help of The Avengers to try and trap Hulk with the Gammatron device but is disappointed when he sees the team doesn't include Captain America, Thor or Iron Man. Nonetheless the Avengers and Ross device a plan to lure Hulk into the Gammatron. On reaching Hulk’s location, Vision phases underground and taunts Hulk into chasing him to the surface where the other Avengers try to place him in the trap. However Hulk proves too powerful for this clearly weaker team of Avengers and manages to hold them off on his own until he is tricked into walking between the rays of the Gammatron. While the Jade Giant is struggling, Scarlet Witch makes the mistake of mentioning Bruce Banner which enrages Hulk and he destroys his trap and escapes.

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.
