Hulk Comic

Hulk Comic was a groundbreaking title published by Marvel UK from March 7th 1979 to 15th May 1980 (63 issues). The brainchild of editor Dez Skinn, it was the first British comic title to regularly feature the Marvel Comics characters in British originated adventures. The line-up included Hulk stories by creators including Steve Parkhouse, John Bolton and Dave Gibbons (typically short stories based on the model used in the then current live action TV show, though the Hulk did occasionally meet fantastical foes like Susquatch), the Black Knight series by Parkhouse and John Stokes, Nick Fury by Steve Moore and Steve Dillon and a new, UK originated character, Night Raven by Parkhouse and David Lloyd (Bolton also contributed to this). There were also some American reprint strips (though these were outweighed by the new material) including sixties Ant Man reprints, which led to a two part, British originated Ant Man strip by Steve Moore and Steve Dillon beginning in #48, and (during a brief hiatus in the Black Knight strip to allow the creators time to catch up) a reprint of the origin of Captain Britain (the Knight's co-star) from his original weekly comic. From #47, the title became 'The Incredible Hulk Weekly', and following its cancellation, it was merged with Spider-Man, though the merged title contained no original material.

The first issue included a free Hulk sticker album (with a cover featuring the character's live action TV incarnation, which had heavily inspired the British Hulk strips) and issue two contained a packet of six free stickers.
