Hulk #2
"Quand Hulk se déchaîne" delivers a raw, high-stakes clash in Hulk #2 (1982), a pivotal issue written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Gil Kane, whose bold artwork captures the fury of the rampaging Hulk. When the Stranger abandons Earth, Banner, overwhelmed by guilt, attempts to end his own life with radiation—only to see the gamma machine seized by a foreign spy, transforming him into the Abomination. With Betty in peril and the Abomination unleashed, the battle for survival begins. The cover by Sal Buscema perfectly frames the chaos, a 7,00 FRF comic that remains a standout in the series.

The Stranger leaves earth with the rampaging Hulk left behind to wreak destruction on his behalf. Turning back into his alter ego, Banner surrenders himself to Gamma base and tries to kill himself with radiation to stop the Hulk's destruction. Stopped before he can use his gamma machine, the machine is instead used by a foreign spy who is transformed into the Abomination. More powerful than even the Hulk, Abomination beats the jade giant down and kidnaps Betty as he escapes from the base.
