Stories

The Monster and the Madman! · 19 pages
General Ross, Betty, Glenn and Samson think the Hulk is dead which is exactly how Dr. Doom wants it. Having made Bruce his willing servant using the awesome power of suggestion, Doom has him construct a gamma bomb with which he plans on subjugating a neighboring nation. Love, alas, brings Doom's well laid plans low as Valeria interferes in Bruce's subliminal programming to save the lives of thousands. The Hulk, not too happy about being controlled, comes close to crushing Doom like a tin can before he leaps off into the sunset.
