Martinex1: It is time for our $1 Challenge HULK style (it is
HULK WEEK after all)! The green goliath has graced countless covers from the early 1960s through today, and along the way an eclectic group of artists have put their own spin on the character. Today we will see plenty of outstanding work from Herb Trimpe, along with Marie Severin, John Severin, Jack Kirby, Ed Hannigan, George Perez, and even Gene Colan and Walt Simonson, plus many more.
Take a look below for a selection of comics in our ever-rotating Quarter Bin that include Bruce Banner or his alter-ego on the cover. You will find a wide variety of titles;
Avengers, Defenders, Marvel Team-Up, Marvel Fanfare, Tales to Astonish, and of course
The Incredible Hulk are all here. This is the one place where we encourage you to judge a book by its cover!
Choose your favorite four and share your thoughts on the art, the artists, the evolution of the Hulk's depiction, and the stories within so that everybody at BITBA can expand their knowledge of the Hulk with a gamma irradiated upload!
A special thanks to the
Mike's Amazing World of Comics site for making the research for today's post easy!
What do you like? And what doesn't get your blood pumping? Did any artists surprise you? I actually enjoyed the work of Ditko, Mignola, and Frenz, who wouldn't have been artists that first jumped to mind when considering the Hulk. There are some classics here and some lesser-known gems, so we welcome all of your "smashing" commentary and "rage-filled" critiques!
