The Incredible Hulk #313
In "Hook, Line & Sinker!", the Hulk finds himself stranded in a liminal dimension, wrestling with his own existence when a mysterious force anchors him with an unseen line. Writer Bill Mantlo and artist Mike Mignola deliver a haunting, introspective tale as the displaced spirit of Bruce Banner encounters Walter Langkowski, a man seeking a new vessel for his soul—only to face a choice that tests the very nature of identity and sacrifice. The cover by Mike Mignola captures the eerie, otherworldly tension of a moment that redefines what it means to be a hero.
