Cover by CULLY HAMMER

Peter David revisits one of his greatest Hulk hits with a return to Joe Fixit!

Everyone wants to know who the mysterious gray-skinned enforcer really is, including many of the wall-crawler’s deadliest foes, and Spidey is on the case (complete with location-appropriate disguises)! Meanwhile, Wilson Fisk is preparing to make Fixit an offer he can’t refuse. Collecting JOE FIXIT #1-5, INCREDIBLE HULK (1968) #347.
