Marvel Masterworks: The Incredible Hulk, Vol. 4

MARVEL MASTERWORKS

WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF IDEAS!

WITHIN THESE PAGES LURK THE AMAZING, THE UNCANNY AND THE MOST SPECTACULAR CHARACTERS THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN!

It was August 1961, and change was in the air. Throughout the nation, a new comic book filled the stands, heralding an era of creativity soon to be dubbed the Marvel Age of Comics. Fantastic Four #1 did not feature the squeaky-clean heroes of yesteryear, clad in gaugy primary colors and hiding behind secret identities. These were real characters placed in extraordinary circumstances. They lived together, they fought among themselves-and sometimes, they even lost to the bad guys. This was more than a change in attitude: It was the beginning of something entirely different and readers couldn't get enough.

Thanks to the fertile imaginations of Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko and others, the runaway train called Marvel showed no signs of slowing down. An unending list of heroes followed the FF with ever-increasing acclaim and popularity: the Amazing Spider-Man, the Mighty Thor, the Incredible Hulk, Daredevil, Iron Man and the X-Men, to name but a few. These were the Marvel heroes, born of conflict and a continuous struggle to balance human lives with superhuman responsibilities.

The Masterworks series was created to give comic-book readers everywhere the chance to experience the creation of the Marvel Universe firsthand. The works contained within pulse with the same vatality, the originality and the same genius today as they did so many years ago. But above all, the pure joy and fun that went into making these stoes continues to transcend the illustrated page. So lay back, dig in and enjoy Marvel again for the very first time.
