TAKE FIVE (HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HULK part 6)

Here are five more Hulk artists I think are just groovy.

First up is Ron Wilson, who did very little Hulk as far as I know, but I love what he did in the late 70s...











Black and white, as it appeared in the British magazine I read it in, but 7 year old me has helped by colouring the Hulk figure using watercolours in panel 2 and a felt tip pen in the last one.

Okay, now let’s have Hellboy creator Mike Mignola’s work from the mid 80s. Mignola took over the comic when Sal Buscema left. He stayed around long enough to draw “Monster”, one of the all-time great Hulk stories. Here's the splash page...












John Romita Jr. took after his dad and became a Marvel artist, beginning in the 70s. He’s done good runs on X-Men and Spider-Man. By 2001 he was on the Hulk, and again he did good solid work...












In 2003 Bruce Jones was writing the comic. He wrote it as a mystery, with Banner on the run, rarely showing the Hulk, etc. Around the time of Ang Lee’s movie a slight change of pace ran in the comic – a story drawn by Leandro Fernandez. I like his style...












Last up is James Kochalka. He is one the best writer/artists out there today. Check him out here. His version of the Hulk touches on everything that is scary, magnificent, stupid and sad about the big green one...
