Spider-Man and the Hulk! Marvel\u2019s most popular characters at this time, and yet, they still rarely appeared in the same book. This one’s banged up, and a previous owner wrote their name on it (I see you, Kim Cobb), but it\u2019s Spider-Man and the Hulk! It’s Len Wein, Jim Mooney and Frank Giacoia kick ing off the issue with Spider-Man trying to break into a prison! Cops and soldiers and all kinda dudes are shooting at him, but he webs away and\u2026 takes off in his car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Chameleon, as advertised. Peter Parker hears what Spider-Man\u2019s accused of now, and since he\u2019s been studying all day, he\u2019s pretty eager to find whoever did this and teach them a lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The finer points of mayhem! Not a typical Spidey phrase. Meanwhile, the Hulk IS IN SPACE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Good grief. I know Hulk\u2019s ability to leap huge distances is part of his kit and all, but that looks hilarious. How did you not see him? He\u2019s the Hulk! And he quit the Defenders half an hour ago! Now that’s some tight continuity. Hulk gets extremely angry that the person driving the car doesn\u2019t have a face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And so, the cover\u2019s caption about Hulk breaking into a prison shall soon come true. Spidey doesn\u2019t know about any of this as he reaches the prison and changes to Peter. The guards don\u2019t want to let him in, but it turns out, all kinds of press are there, including J. Jonah Jameson & Ned Leeds. Still not wanting to work for JJJ but willing to use him, Peter falls in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The warden tells the assembled press they don\u2019t know who Spider-Man was trying to break out, as we pan in on a very worried looking prisoner, and then the scene suddenly shifts back to Hulk & \u201cRick.\u201d Chameleon convinces his friend Hulk to bust his friend Joe Cord out of the prison, which happens to be across the street, so Hulk goes right through the wall immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spidey attacks like he thinks that\u2019ll do anything, and Hulk grabs him by the leg and throws him across the room. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve mentioned yet this thing in comics of this era where people are having their internal monologue and then start talking in mid-sentence, but it\u2019s so weird. I just wonder what everyone else thinks when Spider-Man yells the back half of a sentence. Look, he did it again:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spidey tries to wail on the Hulk, but it was never going to work. Hulk scampers off, and Spidey webs up some guard to keep from getting shot. Hulk produces the newspaper clipping of Joe Cord Chameleon showed him earlier, and just walks through the prison looking for him while every inmate yells that he\u2019s the one Hulk is looking for. It\u2019s a fun bit. A delighted Hulk finds his man, but the guy understandably doesn\u2019t want to go anywhere with The Hulk, and that\u2019s when Spidey catches back up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hulk calling the guy \u201cRick\u2019s friend\u201d is one of my favorite bits of Hulk-speak I\u2019ve ever seen. Hulk delivers Joe Cord to the waiting Chameleon, who says Cord saved his life when they were children, and how he\u2019s returned the favor. Ah yes, I imagine Russian spy Dimitri Smerdyakov and Joe Cord had great times together in Russia. Ahem. Spidey shows up and webs Chameleon\u2019s mask off. And we know how Hulk feels about people with no face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Spider-Man webs up Chameleon’s exit, and once he\u2019s out of the car, he\u2019s quickly surrounded by cops who don\u2019t particularly like him at the moment. Joe jumps in front of a bullet for him\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s that. Joe Cord and maybe a fellow cop are dead in the street, but it\u2019s time to laugh it up with New York\u2019s finest. They’re as happy as I am knowing my Marvel Value Stamp is intact for this issue!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
