Behold, the planet Earth, mother of mankind, the wellspring of human life, silently spinning in the universe.

The Earth, whose existence is soon to be threatened by unearthly spacecraft,

which even now thunder toward our planet, carrying loathsome crews bent upon our destruction.

And now behold the Hulk, mightiest of men, who stalks the Earth wrecking havoc.

This is man, intelligent, resourceful, unsuspecting, about to be tested to the breaking point.

Oh, no, no, it's the Hulk. Look out, warn the others. Get off the street, the Hulk is coming.

The townspeople fearfully watch the troopers search.

There he is, quick! Where am I going?

Hulk, stop, it's me, Rick. Wait, stop!

Come on now, Doc. The Hulk, Bruce. Easy now, easy.

Rick leads the huge green-tinted Hulk away from the town.

As the first rays of the sun spray over the horizon, a strange phenomenon occurs.

Welcome back, Doc. Amen to that.

I think I've got the answer now. It's the night.

As soon as night falls, I become that marauding monster.

Gosh, Doc, I think you're right.

And so Banner formulates a plan to protect himself.

Bruce, Rick, wait. Where are you going?

River, rock hunting, no doubt.

We're off on a little scientific research expedition.

Don't run into the Hulk.

They soon find a good location.

This lonely underground cave is perfect.

Meanwhile, the alien spaceship lands in the desert.

Powerful brain detectors seek out the brilliant mind of Dr. Bruce Banner,

who is deep within the bowels of the Earth.

At last, my refuge is finished.

Now, remember, each twilight before I change to the Hulk,

lock me in here without fail.

This door is a solid concrete ten-feet thick.

Even the Hulk won't be able to break through.

Okay, and I'll release you every morning. Gotcha.

Suddenly...

We're being held here by magnetic forces of unimaginable power.

Doc, look, coming towards us!

Giant human clothes!

Our mind detector leads us straight to our victim.

It is useless to struggle Earthmen. We are Toadmen from outside your galaxy.

And I am Captain Torak. Take them to the ship.

Doc, what's happening to us?

It's fantastic. They've put us into a weightless state.

We have captured the greatest mind on Earth.

Safely in orbit, the Toadmen attend their captives.

This is the flagship of our invincible fleet.

After we learn how scientifically advanced you Earthlings are,

we will attack. You will tell us what we want to know.

Refuse, and we can push your people to the ground.

Or we can empty your oceans with our magnetic repulsion rays.

We can destroy your cities.

Therefore, you will tell me what I wish to know.

Never. No matter how you threaten. Attaboy, Doc!

Silence! Whittler strippling! Back you go to Earth!

Quick, he's soon on his way back in a space cylinder,

while Bruce fearfully witnesses his landing.

Thank heavens he's safe.

Oh, we're orbiting into night.

Don't let it happen again. Not now! Not now!

Who dares to imprison the Hulk?

Come, let us interview Banner.

What manner of creature is this?

No manner. Destroy it.

You dare attack out your own puny gun

to stop puny men?

Now you stay locked up while I explore ship.

More guns? Hulk doesn't need guns.

Meanwhile, at an American anti-missile base on Earth...

Unidentified flying object? Shoot it down, man!

Immediately, the electronic sensors zero in.

Stop! Wait! The Hulk and Dr. Banner's up there!

But his frenzied cry cannot stop the deadly rockets.

The countdown begins. Three, two, one, zero! Fire!

Can even the Hulk's mighty frame withstand the shock?

Run around that ship! Chew up the area!

A lone figure emerges from the smoldering wreckage.

Dr. Bruce Banner!

So it's you! Arrest this man!

Inside the ship, the tote men silently blast a hole to escape the Earthlings.

The soldiers search the wreckage for other signs of life.

Hurry before the Earthlings discover us.

Bring out the magnetic signal flares.

Prepare to attack the Earth.

Meanwhile, General Ross has placed Banner under guard as a traitor.

Doc, you're the only one who could save them from the tote men, and they lock you up.

Look, when it gets dark, the Hulk could bust out, couldn't he?

Perhaps, but it might be better if darkness never came.

I want a 24-hour guard around the prison.

Spanning vast galaxies, the mighty space force of the tote men nears its objective.

And in a lonely, barren cell, Dr. Banner watches the gathering twilight.

At the Ross's home, the General and Betty discuss the prisoner.

Dad, Bruce is not a traitor!

Finding him in the wreckage of that strange, powerful ship must have some explanation.

Hogwash! His fate is up to Washington now!

What? He'll face him! Sound the red alert!

Dad, if Earth is in danger, we'll need Bruce Banner's knowledge and skills!

And Earth is in danger as the fearsome armada approaches.

Shoot them down! Shoot them down!

Uni-Earthlings, this is Torak, your master speaking.

My invincible forces control the skies,

and are set to hurl a mighty magnetic field at your own.

Each minute it will spin ever closer, bringing destruction to your primitive planet.

Surrender, or die!

On TV screens from Bangor to Bangkok, the people watch the raving Torak.

Fight him! Fight him and beat him!

Send for Bruce Banner!

What Banner, with Rick his only visitor, is listening to Torak's warnings.

Even as I speak, spacecraft such as this thunder into your solar system,

and the moon drifts closer and closer, coastal cities will be flooded.

The ground will crumble beneath you.

Soon the crust of the earth will crack, and your buildings will topple.

Banner! Where's Banner?

Even now, the tides are rising.

It is the end, the end of mankind.

But surrender, and we will reverse the rays.

Never! Somehow we'll beat you all!

Alone again as the shadows deepen, one man awaits the fall of night.

It's beginning. My throat goes dry. My pulse pounds.

Heaven help me. Heaven help them all. I'm changing.

Where am I? Why am I locked in here?

Out of my way!

Here they come!

Look! It's the Hulk!

Love and fire!

Lumbering like a human battering ram, the Hulk charges.

For he is oblivious to the world's plight,

while the toadmen gloat and humanity tremble.

Do you see what I see? He's a Hulk!

War General Ross!

The General! He's locked me up. I will find him and kill him.

Approaching in the shadows, the Hulk eludes his pursuers.

While alone, at home, Betty hears the Hulk's approach.

Is that you, Dad?

Oh no! Help! Help!

It's my daughter! The Hulk's daughter!

The invasion momentarily forgotten, the Hulk and his pursuers stand face to face,

while destiny holds her breath.

Hold your fire! You might hit my daughter!

Hulk! Hulk! It's me, Rick! Your friend!

The Hulk has no friends.

The Hulk!

The lumbering giant and his captive are soon lost in the gloom of the evening.

Rick follows frantically toward Bruce Banner's lap.

Who are you? Why do you hate us so?

I am the Hulk. I hate all mankind.

That's right, stare. Stare at what men have done to me.

With this, I promise you, they will hound me no longer.

Don't! Hulk! It's Betty!

Even as Rick pleads with the Hulk, the world quakes in fear.

As the toadmen watch with fiendish pleasure,

and the moon takes its toll, just as they had threatened.

Hulk, stop! Don't! Listen to me!

You! Shut up! This time I shall do forever.

Wait! Earth is in danger! You must understand!

What's happening?

Outside, the Hulk lies unconscious.

And as the dawn bathes his face in an eerie glow,

his features soften and change.

Until finally...

Doc, what a relief. You're okay?

Well, where's Betty? Here she is, Doc.

Ruffed up a little, though.

Of course, I'm so frightened.

Well, you're safe now, as safe as anyone can be in this fearful world.

Bruce, you've got to do something.

All right, young lady, get some rest, and we'll see what can be done.

Rick, the only chance we have is to turn our magnetic energy against them.

Whatever that means, we've got to get to the Gamma Ray Gun.

Yeah, it's your own adventure.

A few miles away behind concrete walls, they prepare the gun.

While overhead.

A banner seems to be adjusting some kind of weapon,

but it can't harm us.

Doc! Hurry, Doc! I hear voices!

Slowly, the great Gamma Ray Gun zeroes in,

while outside the general clamors for admittance.

Oh, wait up there, banner, or we'll blast our way in!

Come on, Rick. I need about 60 seconds.

Will do.

Those infernal spaceships affect my reading, but I can't quit now.

Hurry, Doc!

Just one final adjustment.

Okay, Rick, it's activated. Let them in.

They're already in.

Outside, a sudden hush and...

A world watchers as the Ray Gun's Gamma energy

sends the towed ship spinning helplessly into infinity forever.

I just don't understand, you banner.

Daddy.

Remember.

Great job, my boy.

Next time, kill me in and we'll get the job done sooner.

Yes, sir.

Oh, Daddy, is that the best you can do?

Bruce, it's getting late.

Oh, yes. Will you excuse me now, please?

We have to get on with our expedition.

Must you go so soon?

I just can't wait.

Take care, and good luck.

Currently, they enter the underground cave

and race through the tunnels.

Finally, setting the lock.

Bruce settles down

and waits for his private nightmare to begin.

While outside, Rick keeps his faithful vigil

knowing that night must fall.

Hunk, hunk.
