Amazing. Kind of fascinated by the almost Hulk-like face of the guy in the fourth and sixths panels. Wonder if someone else was gammified in this story.
Also, someone needs to put Rick Jones in a “Hawks 17” jersey some day.
Here’s an unused page—one of an entire unused story or sequence from a very early issue of INCREDIBLE HULK. From what evidence exists, it would likely have been intended for issue #3 or #4. These Jack Kirby pencils were salvaged by Larry Lieber after the story was discarded.
Stan’s handwritten story note at the bottom reads:
CAREFUL—IF YOU INJURE ME I’LL GO TO HOSPITAL—NO BLUE CROSS
And Stan’s one art direction note to the previous panel indicates that the shadow of the bleacher is UNDER it, because it’s being raised by the Hulk.
