Wizard is a magazine about comics and what’s going on in the comic community. Hulk has graced the cover a few times – and I have them all. I think I have them all. Here is a small smapling of those covers. The Homer Hulk is pretty cheesy, true, but still funny.
The entire Hulk fan population (which, some of my friends say consists of just me) rejoiced when Adam Kubert took over the pencils of the Incredible Hulk comic. Course, that also meant that he was going to be a bit slower than regular artists – more guests artists inbetween regular story issues – but this was the first cover that he presented to us – and it was awesome. So we forgot about any of those other negatives.
This is my all time favorite poster – and I really can’t explain why. I think the poster tells a story with one picture though… The Hulk tearing the door off the helicopter – the blonde woman inside – Hulk holding on to the helicopter in mid-air the other ‘copter chasing after them shooting at… something. Even the painting style is different and cool. Two thumbs way up!
This extremely rare figure is a great rendition of the Hulk’s #1 enemy… in strength. This figure doesn’t even compare to the Legends figure – but that’s okay – it has its own charm. The accessory is a giant missle. Ummm… okay.
This has got to be the perfect Hulk toy. You can hit it as hard as you can and it will never stay down. Plus you never hurt your hand! That’s a plus on top of a plus! I had this blown up in my room for years. No, I never slept with it.
Yes, when the Hulk movie was out Entertainment Weekly had him on the cover – and without missing a beat MAD magazine did a spoof (there was an alternative cover that I did not pick up – it was just the Hulk smashing the MAD letters) But the best one in the collecton is the French magazine. I went to France in 2002 and it was at the same tie that this issue hit the stands – what were the odds of that? Well, nedless to say, since I don’t speak french I have no idea whate this magazine says or why the Hulk is on the front – but it’s still cool.
This was on top of another candy bar wrapper. It was very wise to put the Hulk with the Peanut Butter and Chocolate bar – because both are the best of their respective kinds. I truly believe if all candy bars had a fight that the peanut butter and chocolate bars would come out victorious.
Couldn’t they think of anyone else that Hulk would fight? Quasimodo? That’s like fighting a cripple isn’t it? Hulk is used to fighting entire armies with tanks and guns – is a shut-in with a posture problem really going to give him a fight for his money? Ridiculous.
This representation of Fixit blows away the ’96 version. This figure not onl comes with a tommy gun but a real cloth coat and removable hat. The clothes are all torn up underneath and the expression on his face is right on. This is the best Grey Fixit Hulk figure ever made – now all that is left is for them to do a green version of Fixit – like in Kewon’s Hulk #395 & 396.
The subtlety of this shirt is what appeals to me. I don’t like wearing shirts with huge advertisements and huge loud colors – so this shirt is perfect. Classy almost. Wait… not almost – I meant really classy. I like the fact that it says Est. 1962 – for the year the Hulk was first published.
Keown drew about maybe 6 issues of PITT. It was… actually it didn’t even have time to build up anything besides alot of hype. It looked cool though. So, when Keown needed money again he returned to his only 2 real lucrative properties and drew them together. The story wasn’t really memorable – seeing as I can’t really recall it – but the illustrations were top-notch.
I don’t like popcorn – and I really don’t like flavored popcorn – but that’s okay because my friend Bill got this for me one year – and I just dumped out all of the popcorn and kept the tin. It is currently filled with about 150 superballs. Seriously. I buy superballs, have my fun with them, and then they all go in this tin. I think something’s wrong with me.
Much like the min-metal Hulk figure I bring you the mini plastic Hulk figure. Although I’m not really sure if it is plastic because it’s still on the card and all. It’s not heavy like the metal figure is so that’s a guess – but it does have an awfully close resemblance to the War Hulk figure I posted here.
This is a favorite of mine. I think you could wear this shirt and not be made fun of. It’s really well done and I bought it at Hot Topic.
Wizard put out a variant on the She Hulk figure from the Toy Biz line. It features the She Hulk in the Fantastic Four costume. It doesn’t stand very well though – so I had to prop her up.
