Book Synopsis

The legendary creative team of writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale share a groundbreaking and uniquely colorful perspective on the origin of the Incredible Hulk!

Before the world knew Bruce Banner was the Hulk. Before Bruce confessed his love to Betty Ross. Before the Hulk was green -- there was HULK: GRAY. The explosion of the Gamma Bomb tore Banner's life apart, unleashing the strongest creature on Earth: the Incredible Hulk! But no matter how powerful he became, his heart still could be shattered by Betty Ross -- the daughter of his greatest enemy, General "Thunderbolt" Ross. The Eisner Award-winning team of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale offers their ever-insightful look into the foundation of Marvel Comics' most popular heroes, unraveling the Hulk's origin -- and uncovering a secret that will change the way we look at Bruce Banner forever!
