The Incredible Hulk #244
In "It Lives!", the Hulk crashes a Hollywood gala in Los Angeles, mistaking flashing lights for an attack.

Written by Steven Grant and illustrated by Carmine Infantino, with inks by Mike Esposito and colors by Ben Sean, this 1980 Marvel classic features a cover by Al Milgrom that captures the chaos in bold, dynamic lines.

The Hulk comes to Los Angeles and, after thinking he's being attacked by spotlights, crashes a Hollywood event honoring actor Grant Marshall. Bob O'Bryan (who had just wed his girlfriend Diane Cummings) transfers his mind into the Living Colossus to try to stop the Hulk. While this is happening, Dr. Vault is able to force his mind into the statue forcing out Bob and tries to kill the Hulk. The Hulk ultimately smashes the Colossus into dust. Dr. Vault collapses and dies because his nerve disease had accelerated while his mind was out of his body. Bob and Diane watch the Hulk leave the city.
