Pretty striking cover! Here\u2019s another one I\u2019ve had forever. I almost feel like it was in the magical box of Marvel comics discussed elsewhere on this blog, but it seems too old. I\u2019m not a Hulk guy, I wouldn\u2019t have bought it just \u2018cuz he\u2019s in it. I have no idea.  This feels like a last minute fill-in. Peter David writes, Sal Buscema clearly doves very loose pencils, and Armando Gill does finishes. Bob Sharen, of course, is everywhere. It starts pretty weird!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barely recognizable as Buscema on page one. It gets more obvious quickly, but Gill is certainly doing a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, this is what we\u2019re doing. Everyone runs in a panic as Spider-Man\u2019s costume appears on Peter. The Hulk attacks him, and he keeps switching between red and blues and black suit as he runs and swings out a window. Then The Bugle collapses. Hulk explodes out of the wreckage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Guess what, he\u2019s still dreaming. He keeps hearing the cry for help, and looks out the window to see it\u2019s coming from Aunt May\u2019s house. He arrives in time to see The Burglar gun down Ben, May, Captain Stacy, Gwen Stacy, even Mary Jane & Betty, and they\u2019re not really dead. The Burglar says he\u2019s given him what he wants, because guilt defines him as they run into the end of Amazing Fantasy 15\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hulk catches up, and Spidey almost let\u2019s him crush him, but then they go falling through space into some water. Spidey keeps hearing the call for help, and then this all starts to make some sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

There\u2019s more fighting as Nightmare, the lord of, uh, Nightmares, there, tells Spider-Man if he dies in the dream, he\u2019ll die for real. Hulk throws a manhole cover, which Spider-Man rides to the Statue of Liberty, which they demolish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

There ya go, it\u2019s not just a dream issue. Spidey and Nightmare run to the edge of his realm, and the Hulk pursues. With nowhere left to run, Spider-Man resigns himself to fighting, webbing Hulk\u2019s eyes and boxing his ears to enrage him further, but it doesn\u2019t help him much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Nightmare celebrates the victory by getting back in his usual supervillain outfit. When Spider-Man tells him to send him home, Nightmare refuses, saying he\u2019s proven a great champion, so he\u2019ll trap Spider-Man here to work for him forever. But as he\u2019s saying all that, Hulk\u2019s hand reaches back in through the void\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Wacky one. Total filler, but at least interesting. Peter David was into his 15-year or something like that Hulk run by this point, so I assume Hulk being trapped in the land of madness or whatever would\u2019ve carried over to his book, but that\u2019s not our concern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
