Planet Hulk Animated Movie Hits the StreetsJan 12, 10
As posted in Marvel Movie News:  On February 2, one of Marvel's most epic sagas of all-time lands in stores on DVD and Blu-ray Disc as "Planet Hulk" makes its incredible animated debut. However, this Thursday, January 14, the gamma-irradiated excitement hits a new level when The Paley Center for Media plays host on two coasts to the exclusive first screenings of the film, along with panels featuring comic and animation talent, as well as limited edition giveaways and creator signings.
Co-sponsored by New York Comic Con and Newsarama.com in association with Marvel Animation and Lionsgate Home Entertainment, the screenings will begin at 6:30 PM local time in New York City and Los Angeles respectively with panel discussions and signings following immediately after at 8:30 PM.
World Wrestling Entertainment's Matt Striker, color commentator of Friday Night Smackdown, will moderate a panel featuring Marvel Editor-in-Chief Joe Quesada, Hulk editor Mark Paniccia, President of Marvel Animation Eric Rollman, and INCREDIBLE HULK writer Greg Pak, the architect behind the original "Planet Hulk" comic book storyline.
In Los Angeles, Blair Butler, host of the Fresh Ink segment on G4's "Attack of the Show" as well as the writer and producer of the "Slasher School" animated shorts, will welcome Emmy Award-nominated and Eisner Award-winning HULK writer Jeph Loeb, "Planet Hulk" screenwriter Greg Johnson, Supervising Director Frank Paur, Supervising Producer Josh Fine and the voice of the Hulk himself, Rick D. Wasserman, to discuss the film and comics.

Red Hulk: Thinking CosmicDec 30, 09
As posted in Marvel Comic News:  By Marc Strom
Jeff Parker brings the Cosmic Hulk Robot into the fray with FALL OF THE HULKS: RED HULK #1.
Bruce Banner's extended family will see the return of a long-lost member-of sorts-in FALL OF THE HULKS: RED HULK #1 on January 27, as writer Jeff Parker and artist Carlos Rodrigues bring the Cosmic Hulk Robot back into the fold!
"Cosmic Hulk has one main job, which will be clear soon when he goes into action," describes Parker of the robot's role in the Fall of the Hulks. "Now he answers to M.O.D.O.K. and Leader."
Created by the legendary Jack Kirby in the pages of 1977's classic ETERNALS #14, the Cosmic Hulk has now fallen into the hands of the Intelligencia, the group of evil geniuses bent on making the Hulks' lives increasingly chaotic.
 "If you read FALL OF THE HULKS: ALPHA, you saw it in the Eternals Antarctic stronghold," Parker reminds. "That was one of the things the Intelligencia lifted in their caper down there. Now the key is they have to activate it again."
And according to Parker, the Hulks shouldn't underestimate their robotic counterpart.
"The tendency would be to say 'well, he's just a robot, break him,'" remarks the writer. "But as you'll see in FALL OF THE HULKS: RED HULK #1, we reveal the nature of this synthetic being, and it becomes apparent that this is easier said than done. If you liked some of the reveals of Marvel history we did in ALPHA, you'll enjoy the back story that goes with Cosmic Hulk."
Beyond reintroducing the Cosmic Hulk Robot, RED HULK will delve deeper into the plans of its titular crimson behemoth.
"This is where we start pulling back the curtain and let readers see what Red has been up against and more of what drives him," promises Parker. "He's not so much in control of events as he has a lot of hard-won knowledge about it all, and is hustling as fast as he can to steer [them] to his own goals."
FALL OF THE HULKS: RED HULK will also provide a greater backdrop to the events occurring in INCREDIBLE HULK and HULK beginning in January.
"You'll get more sense of the real dynamics at play, and the players on the board, some meaty character stuff as we look behind everyone's game face," notes Parker, before listing a few characters fans can expect to see. "A-Bomb! Thundra! Guys with really, really big heads!"
But with his name in the title, the Red Hulk will definitely steer the course of the series, and Parker teases that it's a direction not everyone would expect.
"When you see who [Red] teams up with, you'll start to Hulk out yourself. It becomes clear that he will do whatever is necessary to win."

CGC 9.0 Incredible Hulk #1 Sells for $100,000Nov 25, 09
As posted in Scoop:  Following last week’s record-breaking sale of a CGC-certified 9.2 copy of Incredible Hulk #1 at Heritage Auction Galleries for $125,475, Pedigree Comics has just reported another landmark transaction involving the jade giant’s first issue with a sale of a CGC-certified 9.0 copy for $100,000.
The sale was completed on Tuesday, November 24, 2009.
Pedigree Comics President and CEO Doug Schmell negotiated the transaction between the seller and buyer and both sides "are extremely happy," he said.
“This is the nicest 9.0 copy I have ever seen (I've seen three of them) and actually rivals the Northland 9.2 copy I used to own in structure and appearance. This copy has off-white to white pages and is the glossiest Hulk #1 I've ever seen. Plus, it is perfectly centered, which was a major negotiating point in completing the sale,” he said.
“The buyer made the trip to my office to personally inspect the book and he was very pleased with the its overall appearance. After some back and forth phone calls to the consignor and haggling with the buyer, a price of $100,000 was agreed upon, far eclipsing the previous record for a Hulk #1 in 9.0 of $45,000 set in July, 2006, and just short of the overall record price for an Incredible Hulk #1 reached this past weekend at auction.”

Super Hero Squad Show: Hulk ProfileNov 16, 09
As posted in Marvel Movie News: Get to know the Super Hero Squad's most lovable AND most destructive member in this special video profile.
And get more information about "The Super Hero Squad Show" on their official site! The HulkHulk’s a monster first, lovable second, childlike never. He’s the strongest Squadder, and the simplest, with major anger issues. When something sets him off, he becomes a tower of rage, ready to smash anything and everything in sight. Handy in a battle, but less helpful when it’s his turn to do the dishes. In such cases, it can take every member of the Squad to calm him. He can also be a bull in a china shop, walking through doors without opening them (or even walls). His rages on the Helicarrier frequently end with a hole in the ship’s foot-thick hull, and an angry green figure plummeting to the ground before bounding back.

Play Hulk and Make MoneyNov 14, 09
As posted in Casino Advisor:   The Incredible Hulk is a Playtech online slot based on the movie The Incredible Hulk. It has been licensed through Marvel Movies. The introduction shows Bruce Banner being transformed into the Hulk. The symbols on the reels are all taken from The Incredible Hulk movie. There is the Green Liquid in a beaker that transforms Banner to the Hulk. There are Police Cars and Helicopters, which are the favorite smashing items of the Hulk. The high value card symbols are fashioned in thick stone, which is another item that the Hulk regularly smashes. The Hulk is the wild symbol.
There is no background music but the other audio is suitable to the theme. The colors that dominate the screen are black and green, which go well with the theme. The animation in most of the symbols is minimal. When they make up winning combinations a green glow appears behind the symbols. The Hulk symbol shows good animation. The rage felt by the Hulk is legend and this is expressed in the animation by the Hulk widening his eyes and gnashing his teeth. When the Hulk symbol expands to cover one reel or three reels the animation gets even better.

FIRST LOOK: Planet Hulk DVD Box ArtOct 14, 09
As posted in Marvel News:  First look of the DVD box art by Alex Ross for the upcoming "Planet Hulk" animated film.
Movie introduction:
A whole new world of hurt!
He was a monster, impossible to control, too dangerous to ignore. So Earth's mightiest heroes exiled him into outer space. But now the Incredible Hulk crash lands on the distant planet Sakaar, ruled by the tyrannical Red King. Sold into slavery, Hulk becomes the planet's mightiest gladiator—but his new masters get more than they bargained for when he forges a bond of brotherhood with his fellow fighters: crafty insectoid Miek, ruthless rock-man Korg, ex-shadow priest Hiroim and the noble-born rebel Elloe.
Unlike Earth, the desperate people of Sakaar believe a monster is just what they need. But will the Hulk be the one to save their world...or destroy it?
Look for more "Planet Hulk" images, videos and features as we get closer to the movie's February, 2010 release.

My Hulk at MarvelSep 25, 09
As posted in Marvel Fan Fiction:  The Hulk Fan Webcomic that I write, and draw, and post in this site on this page, now has its place at Marvel.com
In this Board full of entertaining stories by Marvel fans, I'll be writing each page of the second chapter The Devil's Throat like a book story.
This allows me to provide more information than what I can transmit with the artwork and the character dialogs.
For example, this is how page 55, the first page of the second chapter, is told ( see drawing here):
- - -
"Hulk! Are you alright?" shouts Dulce while the emerald giant can barely move on the ground.
Turning her attention to the strange visitor, Dulce demands "What have you done to him?!"
The beautiful super heroine pauses for a moment. She senses that there's no evil in the uncanny attacker. But the soft lines of her gorgeous face turn rigid again as she remembers the events of recent, and says:
"Hasn't there been enough death for a day! I won't let you kill the Hulk, whomever you may be!!"
The shining visitor finally turns his face to Dulce. The blue light of his glowing eyes, up to now emotionless, now transmit a bit of surprise.
Suddenly, time seems to stop. It is the visitor who resumes it by speaking for the first time: "My name is Segundo".
And the shining face now with a name continues "I cannot explain my actions now."
Raising his right hand and pointing it at Dulce, Segundo says "... And neither should I let you interfere with them"
But before Dulce can react, a large and dark Hulk figure raises behind Segundo... It's smash time.

Disney Wants to Buy Marvel ComicsAug 31, 09
As posted in Comic Book Resources: In what is easily the biggest comic book news in the last ten years, the Walt Disney Company announced this morning its intention to purchase Marvel Entertainment for four billion dollars, a move that would absorb the Marvel Comics stable of classic superheroes and villains into the expansive Disney library of intellectual property.
Though still very early in the acquisition process, a number of details have emerged, including the fact that existing licensing and distribution deals will remain in place for the moment (and presumably for the duration of each respective deal) and that Pixar’s John Lasseter has met with key Marvel creative executives.
For reaction from the ground – the writers and artists who have helped make comic books and Marvel in particular such an attractive space for Disney to move into – CBR News reached out to a number of comics creators, who shared their thoughts below.
Jason Aaron, writer of Marvel’s “Wolverine: Weapon X,” “PunisherMAX”
“I swear by the people I work with at Marvel, like editor Axel Alonso, and they're all very excited about this deal, so that means I'm excited too. To now suddenly be in the same family as John Lasseter and the folks from Pixar is a huge honor and a thrill.”

Two Monthly Hulk Comics Starting August 2009Aug 26, 09
 Since August 26, 2009, there are two montly Hulk comics: Incredible Hulk (by writer Greg Pak and artist Ariel Olivetti), and Hulk (by writer Jeph Loeb and artist Ian Churchill).
Incredible Hulk is the main Hulk comic, and depicts the stories about Bruce Banner (who cannot turn into the Hulk at the moment), and his son Skaar, born in planet Sakaar during the Planet Hulk saga (by Pak).
Hulk is the secondary Jade Jaws comic but with stories about Rulk, the Red Hulk.
The last time there were two monthly comics of the Strongest One There Is was a decado ago (in 1999) when Incredible Hulk and The Rampaging Hulk Vol.2 were coming out. But the Rampaging title only lasted for six issues.
I hope that this time, there will be two Hulk books for a long. As of the time of this article, it is sure that "Hulk" will come out at least until November 2009. Visit the Upcoming Comics page for more details.

See Incredible Hulk #601 Preview with art by Ariel OlivettiAug 20, 09
As posted in ComicsBulletin.com:  Check out ComicsBulletin.com to see the first six pages from Incredible Hulk #601, by writer Greg Pak and artist Ariel Olivetti.
The six-page preview shows Bruce Banner in a train (to New York) who stands up for a kid hit by his abusive father. Although unable to turn into his alter ego the Hulk when the corpulent father pushes him away, Banner uses his amazing intelligence as defense. Using his hand held computer, Banner hacks into the man's cell phone to get data that compromises the man, and threatens to use it if the man ever mistreats his son again.
When Banner comes out of the subway, a large number of super heroes awaits him, including Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards, Bucky Barnes Captain America, Spider-Man, and Wolverine.
Ariel Olivetti's art is beautiful, merging realism with exaggerated muscular proportions, and a coloring style that reminds of some classic paintings.
Greg Pak's is the favorite Hulk writer of recent, and his new run on the book will let him explore even more the relationship between Banner/Hulk and his son, Skaar, created by Pak at the end of his acclaimed Planet Hulk saga.

Introducing the Red She-Hulk!Jul 27, 09
As posted in Marvel News:  Debuting in October's HULK #16, Red She-Hulk will begin her rampage through the Marvel Universe in a not-to-be-missed story.
"She was always in the mix," writer Jeph Loeb reveals of the character's conception. "The success of the Jen Walter's She-Hulk-one of my favorite characters-opened the door to do a counterpart. But we didn't do it to just do it. [INCREDIBLE HULK writer] Greg Pak and I worked it out so she will play an integral role in what's to come. She might even be the most important character in the upcoming [World War Hulks] epic."
Loeb wouldn't say whether or not fans would have to wait long for the revelation of Red She-Hulk's true identity, but when they do, it will have major repercussions for the larger story in the writer's HULK run so far.
"That would be telling," Loeb teases. "But, what I can say is her origin is critical to everything we've been doing."
Just as the Red Hulk has made a lasting mark on the larger Marvel Universe, Loeb hopes that the character's female counterpart will stick around for a long time to come.
"We've been very careful with the creation of this character," the writer explains. "We wanted to make sure she didn't come off as silly-my memory of the introduction to [the original] She-Hulk-before anyone had read a page. But the character was a completely different take on the Hulk, a Hulk we'd never seen before. Jen is a wonderful character. Our intention is [that] Red She-Hulk will make an equally important impression on the Marvel Universe.
"Red Hulk could've been a character who appeared for a few issues, like Harpy or Rick Jones' 'Teen Hulk,' [but] Red has stuck. Our hope is that Red She-Hulk will be around for some time too."
As to just how the Red Hulk will respond to the latest addition to the gamma-irradiated family, fans will just have to wait and see.
"That's part of what's to come," hints Loeb. "The way Greg and I have laid it out, our hope is that just when you figured out what we've been up to-and, more specifically, what Red She-Hulk has been up to-you'll be very surprised."
Once again, Loeb promises fans that the new Red She-Hulk will be "at the core" of the larger ongoing storyline, and that she will surprise more than a few readers.
"She's quite feral in a way. Super into what she's getting to do. I think of her as Kathleen Turner's character in 'Body Heat,' Maddy Walker. Just when you think you know her-it's too late. You're dead."

Hulk Comic Not Doing Well In SalesJul 25, 09
As posted in Wizard Magazine:  In its "Shop Talk" section, Wizard Magazine informs that sales on the Hulk comic (written by Jeph Loeb and drawn by several artists) have dropped, and why.
"Starting off hot with a ton of buzz and excitement over the new red and improved Hulk, the series since then has been plagued by delays and a storyarc that's gone from exciting to lagging-with sales taking a serious hit as a result."
Interviewed comic book retailers say that their customers drop off the title in high percentages, mainly because they're turned off by the fact that the identity of the Red Hulk has not yet been revealed (it was hinted that it would by now), and that the schedule keeps slipping.
Besides what the magazine says, in boards and forums you may find comments from many Hulk fans who are disappointed, angry, even disgusted by Loeb's work, asking the return of Greg Pak, something that happens since Incredible Hulk #601 (August 2009).

Megan Fox Rumored as She-HulkApr 16, 09
As posted in ComicBookMovie.com:  Megan Fox is being lined up to play She-Hulk. The 'Transformers' star is the favourite to portray the giant green female in the big screen adaptation of the popular comic book series about The Incredible Hulk's cousin. A source said: "'She-Hulk' comics are popular so it's only natural that the character makes the transition to the big screen. The idea is to make She-Hulk sexier but even more savage than the Hulk, which is why Megan is the big favourite for the lead. She'll be green of course and will have to hang on to a few more pieces of clothes than the male version when she transforms!"

Archrivals: Hulk vs WolverineJan 26, 09
As posted in Marvel News:  By Marc Strom
Hulk smash puny Canadian mutant!
Bruce Banner's Gamma-irradiated alter ego has had his fair share of altercations with Wolverine. From the X-Man's first appearance to the events of World War Hulk, Marvel's most heroic monster has put Wolverine's unbreakable skeleton to the test time and time again.
Now, with the DVD and Blu-ray release of the animated "Hulk Vs" just a day away, bringing the Green Goliath against both Wolverine and Thor in a duo of all-new movies, we run down some of the greatest Hulk/Wolverine slugfests in Marvel history!
INCREDIBLE HULK #181 (1974)
Wolverine made his debut with this three-way slugfest between the Canucklehead, Hulk and the cannibalistic Wendigo! Working for the Canadian government at the time, Wolvie goes berserker on the Hulkster after he manages to slice and dice the Wendigo. Managing to hold his own, Wolverine puts the Hulk's patience—or lack thereof—to the test, until the monstrous behemoth manages to land one doozy of a punch which succeeds in knocking Logan out, making the Hulk the winner in this pair's first dust up!
INCREDIBLE HULK #340 (1988)
After catching a familiar scent, Wolverine ditches his fellow X-Men and comes up against the Hulk once again. Reminded of their previous encounter, the now-grey mammoth doesn't give Logan a chance to get a word in as he preemptively launches into a full scale beat down. However, also having learned his lesson, Wolvie gives no quarter as he guts the Hulk and leaves him for dead. Unfortunately, the Hulk's advanced healing system has him up on his feet again in no time and the battle continues until S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Alan Quartermain puts a stop to their rampage.
INCREDIBLE HULK #454 (1997)
Hulk has set up camp in the Savage Land, but when Wolverine and Ka-Zar come knocking on his proverbial door, he gets a little upset. And when Hulk gets upset, he starts punching things. When Wolverine slashes at the Jade Giant's throat, the Hulk is relieved to discover his mutant opponent has lost the adamantium covering his skeleton, leaving him with bone claws incapable of breaking through Gamma-irradiated skin. Though he manages to get his hands around the X-Man's neck, a stampeding T-Rex breaks up the fight and the Hulk mysteriously collapses before it can resume.
WOLVERINE/HULK #1-4 (2002)
A girl's ghost asks Wolverine to help her get "Uncle Bruce's" help in finding her father, but unfortunately for Logan, Uncle Bruce's last name just happens to be Banner. While the Hulk pummels him, the girl makes Wolverine promise not to hurt his agitator. Luckily for him, their one-sided battle causes a massive avalanche which smothers Hulk and renders him unconscious. But even with an advanced mutant healing factor, Wolverine had his share of aches and pains the next morning!
WORLD WAR HULK: X-MEN #2 (2007)
Recently returned to Earth looking to make the Illuminati pay for rocketing him off to the nether regions of space, one of the first people Hulk stops to visit happens to be Charles Xavier, leader of the X-Men. Wolverine joins his teammates in defending the Professor, and in one of the quickest Hulk/Wolverine battles on the record books the Hulk lands a punishing series of blows directly to Wovie's head, shaking his brain around in his unbreakable, adamantium-laced skull. Here's hoping that healing factor applies to brain cells, as well!

Stan Lee UncutJan 15, 09
As posted in Details by Men.Style.com: Comic
book great Stan Lee tells DETAILS magazine about superheroes we need,
picking up ladies, and being out-geeked by Gene Simmons.
Q: They say print is dead. Are comic books?
A: Not at all. I'm no prophet, but the surge in popularity of graphic novels tells you something. Kids are still interested in great stories told with great pictures—and when I say kids, I'm talking about 40-year-old lawyers and doctors. But what's really driving comic books is Hollywood. As long as they keep turning these stories into movies, the superhero industry is going to stay strong.

"This has been the greatest ride ever," said Loeb. "Having Arthur Adams and Frank Cho join us for those three issues (and for some surprises to come!) was not only a great pleasure, but it kept the HULK right on top! Be sure to come back next issue when Ed 'Ed' McGuinness returns!"
Augie De Blieck Jr, of ComicBookResources.com. gushes, "[HULK is] just what I need these days…HULK is a mystery, at its heart, but one dressed up in a high-octane action movie that plays to its artists' strengths, and gives us all sorts of new and crazy scenes…Sit back, and enjoy. [HULK] is lots of fun."
Now, prepare for a titanic tussle that only the acclaimed team of Loeb and superstar artist Ed McGuinness could bring you—Hulk & The Defenders (NAMOR! SILVER SURFER! DOC STRANGE!) versus Rulk & The Offenders (TIGER SHARK! TERRAX! BARON MORDO!) in HULK #10!

Psych Ward: The HulkOct 7, 08
As posted in Marvel News: From the outset, it should be noted that the majority of this report is
based on naturalistic observation of the behemoth creature known as the
Hulk. As such, any opinions or diagnoses presented should be taken with
some skepticism as for most of the creature's existence, personal
interviews and/or sessions were not a possibility or were rejected by
it.
The Hulk is a humanoid of immense size. His skin tone has fluctuated,
over the years, between green and grey. Reports of a red hued Hulk are
being ignored for the sake of this report as a colleague, Dr. Leonard
Sampson, reports that the green/grey Hulk and the red Hulk are not one
and the same. The writer defers to Dr. Sampson in this area as he is
considered to be the leading expert on the Hulk, with the exception of
Dr. Bruce Banner.
In
addition to his varying skin color, the client has also exhibited a
wide range of dress and personal hygiene. In early sessions, it favored
little by way of grooming and was most often dressed in a seemingly
endless supply of purple pants. Upon resuming the grey skin tone it
initially possessed, the Hulk began to favor finer clothes, such as
tailored suits. Eventually, the Hulk once more returned to green. This
time, however, he seemed to be more aware of himself and, while not
embracing the fashion forward stylings of his grey side, he was
significantly more likely to wear appropriate amounts of clothing in
the proper size. There were noted fluctuations with this until the Hulk
disappeared for several weeks. Upon the client's return, during the
invasion of New York that has been dubbed "World War Hulk," it favored
armor and tribal style dressings.

Skaar: Savage TalesSep 4, 08
As posted in Marvel News: On September 24, SKAAR: SON OF HULK PRESENTS – SAVAGE WORLD OF SAKAAR
#1 will delve into the back stories of several of the regular series'
supporting cast members, courtesy of writer Greg Pak with artwork by
Timothy Green II, Gabriel Hardman, Carlo Pagulayan and the legendary
Tim Truman.
According to Pak, the special one-shot fits seamlessly into Skaar's
ongoing series, picking up where the previous issue left off.
"There's a main story that follows the Son of Hulk, Princess Omaka, and
the other refugees as they make their way towards Prophet Rock, where
the mysterious stranger known as Old Sam says he'll help Skaar achieve
his true potential for massive power," Pak explains.
"Of course, this comes after Skaar has already smashed the barbarian
leader Axeman Bone, survived the fire of the dragons of Fillia, and
nearly dismembered the refugees' Hero Protector, Princess Omaka. Which
begs the question—just what the heck are these fools thinking?
"Then there are several other stories woven throughout
the book that reveal previously untold tales that shed new light on our
principal characters as they all struggle with just how smart it is to
be seeking so much additional power for an insanely savage manchild
like Skaar."
As Pak has hinted in the past, some of those characters have a few
surprising ties to players we've seen before in the pages of "Planet
Hulk," and he promises that at least one of those connections will
reveal itself in this one-shot.
"Absodarnlutely," Pak confirms. "In particular, look for one of Skaar's
closest relatives to appear in a surprise story from the past of
Princess Omaka."

SDCC '08: Hulk VS Wolverine Panel ReportJul 28, 08
As posted in Marvel News:  At Comic-Con International this past weekend, Marvel held the world
premiere of its latest animated feature, "Hulk VS Wolverine." The
movie, one-half of the "Hulk VS" DVD out next January—the other half,
"Hulk VS Thor," was not shown at the panel—delivered the goods,
beginning with a brutal confrontation between Wolverine and the Hulk.
From there the film began to focus largely on Logan and his mysterious
past. Flashbacks retold his origins at Weapon X, adapting portions of
Barry Windsor-Smith's original "Weapon X" story, while in the present
day the Canucklehead found himself and the good Dr. Banner captured by
some of the program's other agents, Omega Red, Sabretooth, Lady
Deathstrike, and a very talkative Deadpool.
In attendance were the film's co-writer and supervising producer, Craig
Kyle; producer and supervising director Frank Paur; co-writer Chris
Yost; and Fred Tatasciore, the man responsible for bringing the Hulk's
distinctive personality to life on the screen.
Kyle explained that the DVD format "allows us to get away with a lot.
This is the place we love to be because they don't watch us too
closely," going on to say that most people expect animated films
released in theaters to be much more kid-friendly than the movies they
want to produce.

Michael, a talented and beloved artist, is most known for being the co-creator and long time penciler of Witchblade. He was also the creator of Fathom and Soulfire for his Aspen MLT Inc Comics and drew almost every major character for the top comic book companies, this work included pinups and covers picturing the Incredible Hulk.
I met him at the 2002 Pittsburgh Comicon. Michael was always with a smile on his face, and eager to hear what fans told him, signing covers and taking pictures with them. He was full of life, a nice guy. He had already been diagnosed with cancer at that time.
May you rest in peace, Michael.
