Beautiful cover art. I opened it just to peak at the pages and discovered a SECOND cover! No kidding. This book has TWO covers. Actually the one inside is nicer than the one outside. I buy many books and like most I don't open them much. I never would have known had I not been replacing some bags.

I love it.too!Ok,so rips off Captain Nemo-Captain Omen-duh.Even the doppey Hulk could have got that one.But whole thing of this Captain Nemo type,with huge sub,Toad Whales and these underwater Hulk crewmen types,just got me.Years later,I'd cook this interstellar Hulk type,who was apart of a crew of Hulks,called Jovian Primatives aboard a mining ship,as a slave labor class and can be traced back to stories like this one.I liked this so much I stold bits of it,was my own creations.Talk about imatation being the insincerest form of flattery<br />Doc Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255204147754923490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494783406050099511.post-25743170127998342712010-09-15T13:01:57.306-07:002010-09-15T13:01:57.306-07:00Almost as ( unintentionally ) funny as Bonekickers...Almost as ( unintentionally ) funny as Bonekickers :-)Simon B https://www.blogger.com/profile/07719757386457800087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494783406050099511.post-37394487109783570252010-09-15T01:19:44.664-07:002010-09-15T01:19:44.664-07:00I didn't see "The Deep".

As it's o...This is one crazy comic. I love it!<br /><br />As it's one of the Hulks I saved when I sold so much of my collection, I read it before commenting. I'm glad I kept this one. For the Toad-Whales - "those awesome, half-mythological creatures" - alone, this is a great comic! <br /><br />I'd forgotten this was Armbeuster's first appearance! And I love the way they tell Nick Fury to go stuff himself because they want the Ross rescue mission to be an Air Force operation. "Thanks for the plan, Colonel. Now go an be a Howler elsewhere. We got Armbruster."<br /><br />I'd forgotten that my copy is in such great condition! It's technically marked VG because the corner is bent and a few of the pages have the corners chipped off, but the cover is really bright and the pages are white.<br /><br />Coming up next: The inexplicable Aquon!
