Hulk to me is a case study of Banner's psyche and I enjoy trying to understand Him.
There are at least two other posters on this forum who's names I'm familiar with that I've seen recently post, who I know for a fact, know as much about Hulk as I do and that's ArtTeacher and CrackerJack and I know of others that blow me away. There's probably more on this board, I just have a bigger mouth.t:
If you can find The Incredible Hulk Omnibus which collects the Hulk's earliest tales from his origin to the Tales to Astonish days, you'll be able to see clearly where writers like Bill Mantlo, Peter David and Greg Pak got their exploration of the Hulk from.
There are too many single issues to name, but writers such as Len Wein, Steve Englehart, Roger Stern along with Bill Mantlo wrote a Savage Hulk that no one can compare. After reading their Savage/Child-like Hulk, you'll understand why I get defensive when people call him dumb or a raging beast. The way they developed him, he was far from.
Tell me if you want specific issues only.
All of Peter's David's Visionaries (a collection of his run) are a must for any serious Hulk fan.
Hulk The End Hardback which collect two of the best Hulk tales Future Imperfect and The End
Peace In Our Time is a prelude to Planet Hulk a must Have.
I would probably say Bill Mantlo (with Sal Buscema's art) could be the definitive run. Can't remember if Roger Stern wrote the Hulk while Sal was on the book. Will have to check. I would probably go by Sal's (as the artist) run than by the writers' run as that is pretty much the definitive classic Hulk to me.
Well, as you know Jarvis the butler has been replaced by an intelligent computer system so the role Hulk will play will be the sexy maid, complete with revealing panties and feather duster.
His major role will be removing cobwebs from Avengers mansion.
I'm actually hoping for She-Hulk to be dressed like that. She could totally pull off that look.
