Issue Description

A rescue mission extracts General Ross from his Russian captors- but will Glenn Talbot now take Ross’ place? Hulk successfully reaches New York’s shores…and must immediately help Hawkeye with the ever-shocking Zzzax!

Debut of Zzzax!

The story opens with Hulk stopping a train wreck. Bruce Banner, on the run, gets a job as a janitor at a lab in the hopes of continuing his research to find a cure for the Hulk. When some of the lab's scientists see his incredible intellect and skill, they invite him to witness the activation of their new machine. The machine is supposed to generate vast amounts of electricity including that from someone's neurons--perhaps even revealing one's memories in physical form. However, the machine creates an entire being of electrical energy. Absorbing the gamma in Hulk it becomes powerful enough to survive, and bursts out. Desperate for more energy, he begins to feed off Hulk even more.

How can Hulk survive? Perhaps he needs the help of Hawkeye.

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.
