The Incredible Hulk: Worldbreaker, Hero, Icon

"A nerdy insider's accessible celebration of Hulk's seminal comic book stories over the comic's run, including all things Hulk: Bruce Banner and his character's origin; various significant story lines over the decades; and his presence as a pop-culture icon in today's wildly popular superhero climate. The Incredible Hulk explores the phenomenon of one of Marvel Comics' most popular super heroes, looks at the most significant and influential Hulk stories, and includes relevant spin-offs and ancillary comic book characters and events. Framed by longtime comic book industry insider Rich Johnson and told using countless comic book images, variant covers, and Marvel Cinematic Universe concept art of both the Hulk and She-Hulk, the book covers how Bruce Banner/Hulk's origin story began; character stories over the decades; Hulk's Avengers story lines; and how Hulk is even powerful and relevant in today's comic book (and super hero film) culture. The book contains more than 300 Hulk illustrations, including covers, interior comic art, and sketch treatments, beginning with his inception in the early 1960s to present-day treatments of the character. The Incredible Hulk will appeal to new fans looking for a great place to start learning about Banner and his alter ego Hulk, to megafans, and to Marvel collectors alike."--
