Adventures of Hulk the barbarian,
By
This review is from: Incredible Hulk: Heart of the Atom (Hardcover)
This volume collects stories featuring the Incredible Hulk and his microworld love interest ,Jarella. Marvel at the time was exploring old pulp magazine ideas such as the works of H.P. Lovecraft, John Carter of Mars, Doc Samson and Conan the Barbarian. In many ways, the Hulk yarns of this era have a lot in common with those low fantasy genre pieces. The Hulk in this set of collected stories comes off as more human and much smarter than in his old Hulk smash phase. The best stories are the ones written by Steve Engelhart. The artwork of Engelhart's main collaborator,Herb Trimpe, is more innovtive than the usual Jack Kirby swipe Marvel house style. Marvel under the editorial direction of Roy Thomas sought to postion itself as a new culture entertainer. These stories collect some of the best examples of that era.
