Product Description:
Dr. Robert Bruce Banner may have the appearance of a mild-mannered scientist, but after being caught in gamma bomb explosion, he became the unstoppable engine of destruction know as the Incredible Hulk! Marvel is proud to present the tales of the everyone's favorite man-monster from the very beginning: From the earliest Stan Lee and Jack Kirby issues that put an irradiated angle on the Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde complex to the Steve Ditko's psychological slobbernockers in Tales to Astonish and the Jade Giant's return to his solo series, this Hulk-sized collection is the foundation for every purple-pants'd adventure ever! Featuring artwork by a who's who of Marvel Age luminaries and scripts by Stan "The Man" Lee, they'll introduce to you to General Thunderbolt Ross; the tortured woman who loves both the man and the monster, Betty Ross; the Leader; the Abomination; and a series of earth-shaking fights between the Hulk and the Silver Surfer, Thor, Giant-Man, Namor, Hercules, and more! Collecting the first adventures of the Jade Giant in one painstakingly restored volume with every page, every pin-up, and every letters column. Not to mention unused covers, critical essays, and bonuses galore! Collects Hulk #1-6, Tales to Astonish #59-101, and Incredible Hulk #102.

I've collected the Hulk for well over twenty years, but I've never read the Tales To Astonish stories. Now I can read the early adventures of this classic icon in a wonderful format!

i just finished reading this and felt a few different things. if you're a hulk fan and want a great reprint of the old stuff then you can't go wrong with this. my only problem i have is that so many of the stories are cookie cutter. i know that that was the norm back then but they don't seem to have aged well. i loved seeing how all the old villians came out though, it was just getting there that was tedious.
