Review: Hulk continues his vendetta against the Commies with a lot of Hulk smash tanks! By the time this starts to wear thin, Bruce Banner escapes the stereotypical Russians and is captured by stereotypical Mongolian bandits. And the obnoxious Glen(n) Talbot arrives to abuse Bruce who is delighted to see him. The action just rolls along with the Soviets showing the sense to quit while they are ahead and Talbot…not. And now they’ve fallen off a cliff! Hully gee!
Giant-Man story: So let’s ignore the fact that the villain is Kirby, absorbing the abilities of any who falls prey to him. And let’s overlook Hank treating Janet in a dismissive manner, giving her a bee to distract her while he can concentrate on something “important.” No, it’s the fact that Wasp is bathed in green ray twice and nothing happens to her while both times someone with her (the bee and Hank) loses an ability. It must be one of those revolutionary scientific rays that only affects what the scientist is thinking of and everything else exposed to it is kept safe by the power of thought. Plus, the ray only takes one ability, apparently randomly chosen by the ray, as it takes Hank’s shrinking ability but not the enlarging one that the bad guy wanted; all of Hank’s other knowledge and abilities are intact—so maybe Hank can explain how his two complementary talents aren’t the same thing. And the baddie must be in a foul temper as in the first panel on page four, he appears to be raising his middle finger to the green ray behind him. Wonder how the Comics Code Authority missed that? Anyway, the Hidden Man (so called because he is hiding in his lair, like every other villain who has minions to do his work for him) is nabbed by his own people who arrive in a spaceship over Manhattan while no one sees them and assure Giant-Man that they will “undo whatever harm [Supramor] has done.” Yet Hank does not regain the power to shrink, confirmed in the next issue. So, what happens to all the scientists whose specialized knowledge has been drained? It must be tough going from being the world’s leading expert on bees to flipping burgers at McDonalds. Let’s hope those other guys were repaired by the aliens!
Comments: Hulk cover portrait was marketed as a poster in the 1960s. Hulk story: For the first time, calming down turns Hulk back to Banner and it will stay that way forever; took them long enough to settle on a formula that works. Only appearance of Kanga Khan, no relation to the Pokémon Kangaskhan (presumably). The story ends with thanks to Steve Ditko for handling the art and the announcement that Jack Kirby will take over with the next issue. Inker Frank Giacoia credited as Frank Ray. Giant-Man story: Wasp’s headpiece is back to black after a one-issue blue period. Though Hank loses his Ant-Man shrinking abilities, they return in AVENGERS #46. Only appearance of Supramor, the Hidden Man. Hank Pym has a stamp collection, previously unmentioned.
