9,812 books404 followersMarvel Publishing, Inc., commonly referred to as Marvel Comics, is an American company that publishes comic books and related media. Marvel Entertainment, Inc., a subsidiary of The Walt Disney Company, owns Marvel Publishing (since 2009).
Marvel counts among its characters such well-known properties as Spider-Man, Iron Man, the X-Men, Wolverine, the Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Captain America, Daredevil, Thor, the Sub-Mariner, the Punisher, Ghost Rider, Doctor Strange, and the Silver Surfer; antagonists such as Dr. Doom, the Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Venom, Magneto, Sabretooth, Galactus, the Red Skull, the Kingpin, and Bullseye; and others. Most of Marvel's fictional characters operate in a single reality known as the Marvel Universe, with locales set in real-life cities such as New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
The comic book arm of the company started in 1939 as Timely Publications, and by the early 1950s had generally become known as Atlas Comics. Marvel's modern incarnation dates from 1961, with the company later that year launching Fantastic Four and other superhero titles created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and others.

August 28, 2024Another book I read a long time ago. Provided lots and lots of information about Bruce Banner lore and the /numerous/ Hulk versions that exist as well as all associated characters. Never watched the movie and never cared to read any of the Hulk comics but my favorite part of this Hulk Encyclopedia was the synopsis they gave about the Old Man Hulk series and ending...so dark but original! If that comic is still available, that sounded well worth the read!

First of all, this book is probably a great buy for Hulk fans if you want some background on the Hulk in comics, TV, animation, and the new movie. It also includes three comic stories- the first Hulk story, a sample issue of the current series, and the issue of the Ultimates with the Hulk.
However, anyone looking for a repeat of the terrific Marvel Encyclopedia: X-Men, or even the mediocre Marvel Encyclopedia, Volume 1, will be disappointed, as there is very little encyclopedic information. Hulk: The Incredible Guide is much better for that.
