Journey into Mystery #62
In "I Was a Slave of the Living Hulk!", a desperate electrician stumbles upon a dormant alien criminal and accidentally awakens him—only to find himself bound by a psychic chain that forces him to serve as the creature’s unwilling architect. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with dynamic art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1960 Marvel classic blends sci-fi dread with the raw energy of early superhero storytelling. The cover, a striking collaboration by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, captures the moment of terrifying transformation.
