Hulk #13
"Le piège" marks a delightfully bizarre turn in the Hulk's saga, as Bruce Banner's desperate quest for a cure is thrown into chaos by an unexpected invader: a highly evolved cockroach with grand ambitions. Written by Archie Goodwin and brought to life with dynamic energy by Herb Trimpe and John Severin, this 1978 issue delivers a rare blend of sci-fi absurdity and grounded character moments. The cover, a striking collaboration by Sal Buscema, Frank Giacoia, and John Tartaglione, captures the moment of confrontation with a mix of menace and dark humor.
