Stories

Destination: Nightmare! · 20 pages
Thanks to Hank Pym's experimental shrinking serum, Hulk travels through the microverse until he finds himself on a world very similar to his own Earth but one in which the Nazis are still fighting the Allies in World War II. He discovers that the scenario is really a construct created by the Shaper of Worlds to fulfill the dreams of an ex-Nazi who arrived during an experiment with Dr. Doom. In order to stop the Hulk, the Shaper turns Kronsteig into the powerful Captain Axis but Hulk still beats him. The Shaper decides to fulfill the Hulk's own dream and sends him to Jarella's world.
