“Closing Curtain”

In "Closing Curtain," the Hulk arrives at Yuma Base to find gamma bombs missing—and the Leader has already set a deadly timer, threatening to detonate one in Middletown at 10 P.M. With Rick and Betty watching in dread, the Hulk confronts the Leader’s enforcers, Rock and Redeemer, only to be caught in a sudden explosion as the bomb detonates early. Written by Peter David and illustrated with dynamic intensity by Todd McFarlane—whose cover pencils and inks define the issue’s striking look—this 1988 Marvel classic delivers a tense, emotional showdown with the stakes raised high.
