Roy Thomas seems to be finding his footing on this title....these issues are much more solid.

Some quite good stories but Doc Samson seems like a jerk. Roy Thomas’ writing of the Ellison story is more a scavenger hunt of Ellison story titles.

Marvel Super-Heroes #16 - Features the first appearance of the Phantom Eagle. An American flying Ace for the time of the First World War.
Incredible Hulk #135 - Kang tries to send the Hulk back into history to stop the Phantom Eagle from destroying a weapon which would kill Bruce Banner’s grandfather if it were not destroyed. The plan almost succeeds, leaving a future altered without a Hulk ever having been created and the Avengers never forming. It’s just as doomed as all of Kang’s foolish shenanigans are.
Incredible Hulk #136-137 - This last two-part tale for this volume is basically a sci-fi adaptation of Moby Dick. But it does reintroduce the Abomination.
Incredible Hulk #138-139 - The Sandman is back for another battle, actually he’s trying to fix his glass hand (there’s some slight continuity glitches here, contradicting events from Fantastic Four #94, but nothing too major) and the Hulk just gets in his way. And then the Leader returns with another con-job to get the military to do his dirty work, and it all ends up Betty Ross turned to glass. Also, the last we’ll see of Jim Wilson for awhile? Yes, it’s all as weird and silly as it sounds.
Avengers #88 & Incredible Hulk #140 - Okay, the big draw for this pair of stories is Jarella’s introduction … no, wait … the big draw is Harlan Ellison plotting this 2-parter … or maybe it’s the Avengers, or Reed Richards making an appearance. I give up. I’m going to go with Jarella’s introduction as Ellison’s involvement is overrated, and as much of a cash grab as the presence of the Avengers.
Incredible Hulk #141 - First appearance of Doc Samson.
Incredible Hulk #142 - Second appearance of the Valkyrie, but actually the first appearance of this particular incarnation of the character. It all very confusing.
Incredible Hulk #143-144 - Doctor Doom. You want more? Doom captures the Hulk in NYC and takes him to Latveria as pawn in his mad scheme to conquer Europe. I don’t know, I suppose it makes sense Doom.
