Hulk 121

Ok another of Hulks I have. I am getting a few more next week and I will get to those after.

"Within the Swamp, There Stirs...a Glob"

Writer Roy Thomas, Artist Herb Trimpe

The Hulk is super jumping up from South America when coming by Florida a missile is shot at him. Well not at him they were testing it out and Hulk jumped in front of it. The controllers see him on the radar and assume it is the Hulk, damn they are good. The missile is remote detonated and ole Jade Jaws is knocked into the swamp. Lucky for Thunderbolt Ross he is airborne and decides in his Ahab like way to get his forces to the area. The Hulk awakes ...as the Hulk (which really should have made him Banner) and finds a shack, spazzing out he destroys in knocking chemicals into the swamp. Turns out a man died there escaping from the police. the radioactive chemicals, dead guy and swamp goo becomes a swamp creature. Huh just think this is copied later by both Marvel and DC so Roy was onto something here. It the little while the Hulk was out Ross' people show up and comb the swamp, when he is seen Ross has Major Talbot hold Betty captive in a hotel room. The Glob sees it and stalks forward reliving his final moments. Meanwhile somehow the army, in such a short time, has outfitted heavy tanks to travel threw the swamp land. They don't sink and get mired in the goop. Aircraft come flying down at him too. The Hulk hits the ground and shakes it so bad the tanks lurch up in the air and shoot at the planes. Unseen the Glob stares in the window of the Hotel when Betty sees him and thinks it is the Hulk and opens the door. The Glob grabs here and slaps Talbot to the ground. Talbot runs into the swamp and finds Ross and tells him what happens. he claims that the creature can't be stopped by the Hulk, Ross sheds a tear. The Hulk lurks and sees the Glob and attacks but gets beaten down. The Glob heads into the water where the army is pour chemicals made to destroy radiation in an effort to get the Hulk, and mutate all kinds of wild life and it starts to melt. It holds Betty up to keep her out of the water. The Hulk climbs a tree and rescues her. Just then the army shows up and Talbot tells them to open fire but Ross let's him go. The Hulk moves on and laments he could have been friends with the Glob.
