Hulk #24
In "Prenez garde à la Ruche !", written by Len Wein and David Kraft and illustrated by Herb Trimpe with inks by Frank Giacoia and Mike Esposito, the mysterious Paragon emerges from a cocoon tied to Adam Warlock’s origin, guided by Doctor Strange. As Paragon returns to the cocoon to complete his transformation, the lab is torn apart in a classic Hulk-style explosion, leaving the cocoon lost beneath the sea. The cover, by Dave Cockrum, captures the moment’s intensity with bold, dynamic lines.
