MIGHTY MARVEL COVER GALLERY - PART FOURTEEN...

Copyright MARVEL COMICS

Looking back 40 years after the fact, it's difficult to know for sure what MARVEL were thinking of when they increased The INCREDIBLE HULK content in MWOM to two stories per issue.  Surely the growling green behemoth wasn't that popular?  I'd have much preferred them to retain DAREDEVIL (or introduce yet another character) rather than have an extra Hulk tale at the expense of a trio of different strips per issue.

Companion paper SPIDER-MAN COMICS WEEKLY contained only two main characters in each issue (Spidey and THOR) at the time, so perhaps the decision was prompted by the desire to replicate that pattern, knowing it wouldn't be too long before the 11 page Hulk stories would give way to full-length, 20 page adventures. Who can know for sure?  However, it needn't concern us now, as we're only here to look at the pulsating piccies anyway.

So, without further ado, here they are!  Enjoy! 

In case you're wondering, the above issue contained no pin-ups or puzzle pages
