The Incredible Hulks
The Incredible Hulks is a monthly comic book series published in the United Kingdom by Panini Comics as part of their Marvel 'Collector's Edition' line, featuring reprints of Marvel Comics from the United States. [1] It began publication in April 2012, replacing Panini's defunct Fantastic Four Adventures series. The first volume ended in April 2014 after 27 issues, with a second volume beginning the following month. Volume 3 began in August 2016, as the title began reprinting Marvel's Totally Awesome Hulk series.
Each issue typically features three stories, each of which revolves around characters such as The Incredible Hulk, She-Hulk, Red Hulk, Red She-Hulk, Lyra, Skaar and A-Bomb among others.
Format
The Incredible Hulk has 76 pages of which there is a contents page on the inside cover and a letters page on the inside back cover, named the "Rampaging Readers". It features very few advertisements compared to the American comics it reprints, with normally 4 of the 76 pages being taken up by advertisements, all of which are for Marvel-related merchandise. The cover is made out of a thick card unlike the US comics which is made of normal glossy paper. The printing work is of high quality. A typical issue features reprints of three modern (less than two years old) Hulk related stories per issue. Occasionally, a 100-page special is published, featuring four or five stories, rather than the usual three.
