Marvel Super-Heroes #35
In "They Dwell in the Depths!", the Hulk is dragged into the hidden underground realm of Tyrannus, a once-feared ruler now weakened by age. With the Mole Man in control of the Fountain of Youth and holding Rick, Betty, and Glenn hostage, Tyrannus pleads for the Hulk’s help—only to be interrupted by a sudden assault. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life by Jack Kirby’s dynamic art and Bill Everett’s detailed inks, this 1973 adventure blends underground intrigue with classic Marvel tension. The cover, by Alan Weiss and Frank Giacoia, captures the clash beneath the surface.

The Hulk is pulled into the underground kingdom of Tyrannus who has been separated from the fountain of youth and has become a feeble old man. The Jade Giant's old foe asks for his help in retaking the fountain from his rival, the Mole Man, and he makes his argument for assistance stronger by revealing that he has captured Rick, Betty and Glenn. When Betty mentions Banner, Hulk goes wild but his destruction is put to an abrupt end as the Mole Man attacks. The Hulk fights Mole Man's powerful Octo-Sapien robot and falls into the fountain of youth, which transforms him back into Banner.
