Hulk #5
In "Un titan rôde," Stan Lee and Jack Kirby deliver a classic moment of cosmic ego clash when Thor interrupts a fan debate between two clubs arguing over who’s stronger—him or the Hulk. Drawing from their legendary battle in Avengers #3, Thor recounts a forgotten skirmish with the green giant, only to admit he can’t definitively say who won. Herb Trimpe’s dynamic cover captures the moment, while the story’s quiet tension builds as the Hulk, pondering the encounter, resolves to settle the score once and for all.

Two rival fan clubs are debating who is stronger, Thor or the Hulk? Thor happens to be passing by and drops in to offer his opinion. He relates the story of their epic battle (in Avengers #3) and describes a previously unseen scene in which he and the Hulk tussle. He goes into deep thought and when pressed, cannot say who is the stronger because he has insufficient proof! Days later, the Hulk gives thought to his meeting with Thor and vows that next time, Thor will be smashed forever!
