Cover by CULLY HAMMER

Peter David revisits one of his greatest Hulk hits with a return to Joe Fixit! Gone are the ripped-up shorts of the Hulk of yore — this enforcer prefers the slick style of a suavely striped suit, and the Hulk has traded in “monster” for “mobster” as he lends his strength to the Las Vegas casino scene. Of course, the Kingpin has his own ideas about who the toughest guy in town is, and now it’s up to Spider-Man to keep the two of them from destroying Sin City! 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.
