Digital Library Reads | The Immortal Hulk

A monster creature that comes out and terrorizes the night is a recipe for a horror genre. When you talk about The Hulk it takes you back how popular character based from the creation of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, which first appeared in its landmark issue back in 1962.

For so many years the jade giant is both hero and menace at the same time a founding member of the Avengers.

There have been many depictions and stories about Dr Bruce Banner and the ginormous creature that was created from a Gamma Bomb accident. There’s too many iterations and representation about the character, but one thing that takes me back to my childhood was the TV series that featured Bill Bixby as Banner and when ‘he gets angry’ turns into Lou Ferrigno as The Hulk.

Similar stories in the classic television series inspired the movies and even the comicbooks.

But Al Ewing who wrote the Immortal Hulk series certainly grew up watching the show adapts the concept of Bruce Banner being on the run to new heights while adding horror story elements that propelled this series to new heights of refreshing take why Banner is The Immortal Hulk and defines the character’s refreshing status quo not a superhero element, but also brings back the nostalgic creatures from the old comicbook anthologies of the past.
