Issue Description

The Hulk versus the Werewolf-By-Night!

In the Nevada desert, the Werewolf kills and devours a coyote, then turns his attention to another sound, that of the Hulk's dual personalities arguing with each other. Joe wants to settle things with Marlo Chandler, who has broken off their relationship, while Bruce Banner wants to let her be. The Werewolf leaps upon the Hulk and they fight viciously, until the sun rises and they each revert to human form, leaving the scene in opposite directions. Jack Russell (the Werewolf) comes upon an abandoned atomic testing lab in which he decides to chain himself up that night. Meanwhile, George, an old Navajo, finds the remains of his pet coyote.

Later, Bruce works incognito as a janitor in a radiation testing lab. Without warning, he doubles over in pain, feeling a compulsion to phone Marlo. He does so and the pain vanishes. He lets slip the location of the lab, and Marlo hangs up to head out to meet him, while he ponders the the Hulk's ability to mentally force him to act against his will.

Hours later, Marlo sits in the car she borrowed, having crashed it while avoiding a rabbit. She is found by George, who tows her vehicle to his service station. She phones Bruce, who has been waiting at the lab all this time, but he begs off their meeting as his nightly transformation nears. Driving home, he becomes the Hulk, while the Werewolf breaks free from the deserted lab. The lycanthrope reaches the service station where he injures George, then chases Marlo as she drives away in George's pick-up.

The Hulk sees the truck with the Werewolf reaching into the cab for Marlo, and considers letting the beast kill her, but instead, he intervenes. After a short struggle, the Hulk breaks the tow chain from the pick-up, wraps it around the Werewolf, then hurls him miles away.

Alone together, Marlo tells Joe she wants to make up, but, too heartbroken, he refuses and tells her good-bye.

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.
