The Hulk may be a misunderstood monster, but his former sidekick, Fred Sloan, is determined to set the record straight. He’s traveling the country, finding stories of the Hulk touching people’s lives, researching for his book, “Hulk Encounter: A Survivor’s Story." But will he find the Hulk revered as a hero, or despised as a menace? Meanwhile, the green goliath himself is on the run, getting into trouble as he goes. Join classic Hulk writer Roger Stern for this look into the impact of Hulk’s smashing! PLUS: Re-presenting the hard-to-find INCREDIBLE HULK ANNUAL #7 by Roger Stern, John Byrne and Bob Layton!
48 PGS./Rated A…$3.99

Just spotted this... yay! Rog, any idea who the artist will be?

yes, looks fun (although I already have the annual. Seems odd not to have an artist to announce by solicit time though. That is happening more and more often...

Thats Great news!
I'll buy this.

Thanks for the posting Steve! Double thanks for correcting the misspellings of my name. There's a least one other error in that solicitation, though...the page count. The new story that I'm writing is 29 pages long, and the reprinted story is 35...that's 64 pages, not counting ads. (I wonder if the price is right.)

Nice Gary Frank cover...



And my editor has a couple of artists lined up...tell you more when I can. (Not to worry, I designed the plot so that art will change with scene changes.)

Should be big fun.

So it's kind of like a jam book? Are there more than two artists?

And you're welcome! I can't help but edit as I go. It's a curse.

Congrats! I'll be ordering this.

Who the hell is Fred Sloan?

Apparently, a character from back when Uncle Rog wrote the Hulk. Some long-haired hippie type. I'd never heard of him either. But now I guess I'm going to have to check this out. Congrats, Uncle Rog!

Eh, Fred Sloan!!. Lucky me that I have just read the Rog Hulk numbers. I thought I wouldnt see him again.

Great

Do you know how much I paid and how long I looked for Incredible Hulk Annual #7? Ah well, i am glad that more people will get a chance to enjoy that Stern tale!

This sounds like big fun indeed.

I'm in.

Me buy this. My favorite aspect of the Hulk's character is the "is he a hero or menace" tension. Sounds like Fred is going to be covering that territory with multiple people's experience.

Is it me or does it seem odd that they took the Hulk away right when he was peaking in popularity and sales? Same thing with Cap? What's with this strategy at Marvel?

I have the corrected information:

GIANT-SIZE INCREDIBLE HULK #1 is a big 64-pager -- no ads! -- for just $3.99!

Such a deal!



-- Uncle Rog

Sounds like a must-buy, I have the annual, but an extra copy I don't have to dig out of a box to read is a good thing(and the price is right)!

Wow..looks amazing..count me in for this!

Great to see you back at Marvel Uncle Rog! How did this project come about? Did they contact you or did you pitch this?

Hopefully we'll see some more Marvel work from you in 2008!

What's the release date for this bad boy?

(Please say "tomorrow.")

Mercy! I have to script it first!

-- Uncle Rog

Sounds good to me! Ha! I bought Hulk Ann. #7 off the stands and still have it!

This is only 6 weeks away. Any word on artist?

Placed my order today!
