| Synopsis |
The Hulk is pulled into the underground kingdom of Tyrannus who has been separated from the fountain of youth and has become a feeble old man; The jade giant's old foe (they fought in Incredible Hulk #5) asks for his help in retaking the fountain from his rival, the Mole Man, and he makes his argument for assistance stronger by revealing that he has captured Rick, Betty and Glen; The dim-witted Hulk doesn't understand this turn of events as he recognizes the captive trio only as members of the people who constantly hound him; When Betty mentions Banner, Hulk goes wild but his destruction is put to an abrupt end as the Mole Man attacks; The Hulk fights Mole Man's powerful (and silly looking) octo-sapien robot and in the scuffle, falls into the fountain of youth which doesn't make him younger but DOES transform him back into puny Banner. |
