The Incredible Hulk #353

Mar 1989 · Marvel · 0.75 USD; 0.95 CAD; 0.50 GBP
“Down and Out in...Las Vegas”

In "Down and Out in...Las Vegas," Bruce Banner awakens disoriented in a Las Vegas casino, hunted by Maggia enforcers who are after a man known only as "Fixit." As he tries to piece together how he ended up in this strange place—three months after the Gamma bomb explosion that supposedly killed the Hulk—he connects with Marlo, Fixit’s girlfriend, and begins to suspect the truth: the city’s new enforcer might be more than just a name. Written by Peter David and illustrated by Jeff Purves, with inks by Terry Austin and colors by Petra Scotese, this issue blends noir tension with the Hulk’s signature power, all wrapped in a cover by Purves and Austin.
