The Hulk rampages his way across Earth and outer space, ready to fight with everyone and everything.

When a time-travel device throws the Hulk into the distant future, he does what Hulks always do: smash! Past, present or future, the Hulk will fight. But when the green goliath returns to the present, he discovers that Rick Jones – thinking he was dead – has revealed to the world that Bruce Banner is the Hulk! As if that wasn’t trouble enough, Hercules hits the scene (and the Hulk), while the Secret Empire weaves nefarious plans of domination. The horror of the Humanoid comes next, but it’s all just a prelude to the debut of the Abomination! Dr. Emil Blonsky is transformed into a gamma-powered monster equal to the Hulk’s might, and their iconic battles will shake the Marvel Universe forevermore!

Every great Marvel hero has a great nemesis, and Marvel’s greenest hero has the greenest nemesis: the Leader! For every ounce of strength the Hulk possesses, the Leader packs an intellectual punch to match. Now, in the Hulk’s second Mighty Marvel Masterworks, witness the jade giant descend into the lair of the Leader and his horrible Humanoids! Brought to you by creative titans Stan Lee, Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby, it’s a saga from the peak of the Marvel Age of Comics – and more fun than you can shake a tank at! Dr. Robert Bruce Banner will also tangle with General Thunderbolt Ross and compete for the love of Betty Ross against Major Glenn Talbot! Collecting material from TALES TO ASTONISH (1959) #59-74.

Is the brutish Hulk man or monster — or is he both?! Find out along with his only friend, Rick Jones, and some of his earliest, unfortunate enemies — including the terrible Toad Men, the ancient Tyrannus, the Ringmaster and his Circus of Crime and, perhaps worst of all, General “Thunderbolt” Ross…father of Betty Ross, the woman that Bruce Banner loves!
