Again nothing essential about this one

There's nothing essential about this Marvel Essential collection. The Rampaging Hulk magazine was a flop. The Moon Knight feature in the later issues was about the only thing worth remembering about this pseudo-TV tie-in.
The first few issues have some interesting artwork by Walt Simonson and Alfredo Alcala but the first nine issues reprinted in this tome were basically disavowed by Marvel because of a severe lack of taking early continuity into account. The second half of the book feature issues from the RH magazine's color run. Unfortunately these are rendered in black-and-white but using the original Colorado separations; this makes some excellent Ron Wilson artwork all but unreadable.
This one is only for the completist on a budget.

Hulk Apocrypha

This collection of stories from the Marvel magazine-size blaxk & white format title The Rampaging Hulk is a real find. The Hulk is more ornery than the now happily defunct Comics Code Authority would allow, and the art is fascinating, reminiscent of original pencil art but less sketchy. The effect is quite different from mere black and white reprints of color comics, the usual fare in the Marvel Essentials series. The stories are great fun, especially the prequel to Avengers # 1, in which Iron Man, Ant-Man, the Wasp, and Thor team up against the Hulk, finally enlisting his aid against alien invaders. Why didn't the others recall this when they (re)gathered in Avengers # 1 and its various retellings over the years? Simply because the last story in Rampaging Hulk retcons the adventures contained in this collection to the limbo of a set of CGI movies fabricated by one of the aliens for their equivalent of cable TV. So they never happened in official continuity. Well, to hell with that! This story, at least, ought to have been included on the "40 Years of Avengers" CD! But since it wasn't, it is certainly one's duty as an Avengers fan to add a copy of Essential Rampaging Hulk to one's library. Or, I suspect, Hulk will smash.

From 1960s Hulk to 1970s TV Star Hulk...
Jun 19 2011

Marvel Essential: The Rampaging Hulk Vol. 1 contains stories from his late 1970s magazine, including the Hulk tales from The Rampaging Hulk 1 through 9. The magazine was then renamed Hulk, and this volume also contains the stories about the comic-book character that appeared in issues 10 through 15. I point out that this collection contains the Hulk stories because the magazine had backup tales featuring other characters and those are not included in this volume. The first nine issues had stories that were supposed to take place in the early 1960s, while the later tales were similar to the ones from the 1970s The Incredible Hulk television show. Very different tone, very different action. Still both series of stories are enjoyable and I would recommend that every Hulk fan should buy this book. For an expanded review, check out my Squidoo lens by searching goldenrulecomics on that website.
