The Incredible Hulk #173
In "Anybody Out There Remember...the Cobalt Man?", the Hulk stows away on a ship bound for a secret H-bomb test, drawn into a mission that blurs the line between science and myth. The story unfolds with a haunting echo of a forgotten name—Cobalt Man—whose presence looms large even as his true nature remains shrouded. Written by Charles Roman and illustrated with bold energy by Herb Trimpe, the cover by Trimpe captures the tension of a man caught between worlds, while the interior art revisits a classic format with a smaller, more intimate layout.
