THE INCREDIBLE HULK #1 (1962)
The first appearance and origin of the Incredible Hulk in "The Coming of
the Hulk." Script by Stan Lee, pencils by Jack Kirby, inks by Paul
Reinman. 1st app. Rick Jones, General Ross, and Betty Ross. It's the
height of the Cold War and the government is about to test their new
Gamma Bomb. Unfortunately, a carefree and oblivious teenager named Rick
Jones wanders out onto the test area. Dr. Bruce Banner, the creator of
the Gamma Bomb, rushes out to warn the young man away. However, the bomb
explodes and as Banner pushes the teenager to safety he is caught in
the heart of a Gamma maelstrom. The gamma-rays that bombard Banner's
thin frame transform his physiology. Now, whenever Banner becomes angry
he transforms into the man-brute known as the Incredible Hulk. Feared by
the public and hunted by the army, the Hulk becomes one of the most
tragic figures in Marvel's history. General "Thunderbolt" Ross will not
rest until the Hulk is destroyed. The creature's only allies are Rick
Jones and Betty Ross, Thunderbolt's daughter and Banner's one true love.
Thus begins the epic saga of the world's mightiest mortal. NOTE: Notice
that the Hulk was colored grey for the first few issues of his series.
In an interview, Stan Lee (creator) said very simply that the reason for
this was that grey was the easiest color for the copiers of the time to
print. When the technology got better the Hulk became green, and
according to Stan, for no better reason than they didn't have a green
hero in their stable yet.
