Why Incredible Hulk 4 is a Key Issue Comic

Ah, gamma radiation – what a wonderful thing.

In Incredible Hulk #4, Rick Jones helps transform Hulk back into Bruce Banner with more gamma radiation.

For the next few issues (until its cancellation with Hulk #6), Hulk uses gamma rays to control his transformation, and keep the intelligence of Bruce Banner.

Unlike the movies and Avengers films, the first Incredible Hulk series features a lot of interactions between Hulk and Rick.

It wasn’t just all mayhem and destruction – there was a deep emotional story being woven.

One thing missing from the first volume of Incredible Hulk is must-have key first appearances of monsters, villains or characters.

Sadly, Hulk doesn’t get anything like this until years later (specifically Wolverine’s first appearance in Incredible Hulk #181).

However, the first incarnation of the Hulk Robot makes its first appearance in Hulk #4, and has since been featured in dozens of other issues.
