Synopsis:

The Incredible Hulk is one of the earliest Marvel Comics superheroes. Through the decades, the character and his narrative elements-the causes of Bruce Banner's transformations, the Hulk's strength, intelligence and skin color, the storys' tone, theme and sources of conflict-have been continually reinvented to remain relevant. This collection of new essays explores Marvel's more than five decades of Hulk comics. The contributors analyze the Hulk and his supporting cast in their shifting historical contexts, offering insights into both our popular entertainment and our cultural history. Topics include the Cold War's influence on early Incredible Hulk issues, a feminist reading of She-Hulk and writer Peter David's focus on the AIDS crisis.
