Incredible Hulk (Vol 1 1962) Issues 201-250
Incredible Hulk issues 200-250 featured a blend of strong artistic contributions and diverse storytelling. Cover artists like Ernie Chan, Rich Buckler, and Al Milgrom provided striking and memorable front pages that encapsulated the essence of each issue's theme. The majority of the script-writing during this period was handled by Len Wein, Roger Stern, and Bill Mantlo, each of whom brought different perspectives and depths to the Hulk's character, exploring his complex psyche and tumultuous relationships. Sal Buscema handled most of the comic penciling throughout this run, with his clean lines and dynamic action sequences becoming a defining style for the Hulk. This era is noted for its rich narrative development and consistent visual storytelling, which kept readers engaged and expanded the Hulk's mythos. Key issues include;
