“But Who Will Judge the Hulk?”

In "But Who Will Judge the Hulk?", the Hulk is captured after his rampage in Washington D.C. and flown to New York to face trial, with Nick Fury and Captain America overseeing his transport. His lawyer, Matt Murdock, fights to ensure his client’s rights are respected, leading to a tense moment when a sedated Bruce Banner is forced to confront his fate—only for a sudden transformation to send the Hulk crashing into the waiting arms of the Fantastic Four at JFK. Written by Gary Friedrich and Steve Englehart, with art by Dick Ayers and Herb Trimpe, and a cover by Herb Trimpe and John Severin, this 1972 issue delivers a gripping courtroom drama with a superhero twist.

After his recent rampage in Washington D.C., the president sends Nick Fury and Cap to help Ross capture the Hulk. They are successful and prepare to transport Bruce to New York to stand trial. During the plane ride, Bruce's lawyer, Matt Murdock, finds him so heavily sedated that he is only able to wallow in guilt and prepare for death. Matt invokes Bruce's civil rights and demands that Ross give him a stimulant so he can talk to his client coherently. Ross reluctantly complies and Bruce quickly turns into the Hulk. Hulk bursts from the plane to find the FF waiting for him on the tarmac of JFK.
