Modok is trying to crush the Hulk under his foot. Those of you unfamiliar with this issue will wonder how could Modok stomp on Hulk with such puny legs. Well, Modok is in a giant robot suit! <br />#168 has a cool two-headed monster attacking Hulk as he is changing back to Banner. The second head is not to the side, but on top of the first head! <br />Never heard of MWOM. Must be a UK thing?<br />The Hulk must necessarily be depicted with huge muscles.<br />Ever notice that some characters that don't need huge biceps are drawn with them anyway?<br />For example, I have seen the Watcher drawn with muscular arms. He is does not engage in fistacuffs, so why draw him with the huge arms?

That's the cover where Modok is trying to crush Hulk under his foot. Those of you not familiar with the cover may wonder how could Modok stomp on Hulk with such puny legs. Well, what is cool is Modok is in a big robot suit!<br />Almost as cool is the giant monster with two heads attacking the Hulk as he is changing back to Banner in Hulk #169. <br />The second head is not to the side, but on top!

He made me love the Hulk, and ol' Greenjeans never looked quite right drawn by anyone else. <br /><br />I agree with the assessment of his style change later on. I bought an FF issue (during their Ant-Man days) where they battled the Frightful Four. I was astounded to read that it was Trimpe's work and assumed pressure from editors for the change. <br /><br />But I'll always love Trimpe. I even loved the Godzilla comic because of him. He just worked with big and green!Boston Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-52015787888495306432012-03-11T20:05:36.684+00:002012-03-11T20:05:36.684+00:00I always liked Trimpes art even when he tried to d...I always liked Trimpes art even when he tried to do a poor version of Kirby but for me he really shone when the (sadly) late/great John Severin inked his work - Loved all those covers they are really good and make you want to read the comic unlike so many of todays covers that are basically posters or girly shots - like you Kid I also oick up the new MWOM, 40 years after I picked up issue 1 in '72 in R S McColls in Rutherglen ! - McScottyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-78550004093214928142012-03-11T09:36:30.572+00:002012-03-11T09:36:30.572+00:00Herb Trimpe (pronounced Trimp-y as I recall one Bu...Herb Trimpe (pronounced Trimp-y as I recall one Bullpen Bulletin page telling me) was indeed responsible for some of the great Hulk stories in my memory. But my first major run on MWOM was in Marie Severine's day, so my affection for her rendition is strongest, despite a few flaws which are now more obvious.<br /><br />But on Trimpe, I confess to being traumatised 20-odd years later by the style of art he adopted, seemingly aping the latest hotshots on the block. It was probably the last straw for me and I've never regularly bought new comics since.<br /><br />SouthfolkmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-88965596113534970922012-03-10T21:17:43.576+00:002012-03-10T21:17:43.576+00:00The blonde on the cover of No 142 looks very Ditko...The blonde on the cover of No 142 looks very Ditkoesque--like Gwen Stacy in the early Spidey comics and the villainesses Ditko drew for Charlton in the '70s.R.
