Frank Was Here

CARTONATO
144 PAGINE

To say that horror writer Bruce Jones is the second coming is an udnerstatement. When you have some big shoes to fill, here for example the legendary Peter David, Jones managed to hit the ball straight out of the park in the six issues collected here. He has reinvented the Hulk by focusing the storytelling on Doctor Bruce Banner (rather than on his green skinned alter ego), a fugitive on the run from the law after a young boy is accidently killed during a Hulk incident; and he also soon finds himself hunted by a mysterious conspiracy. Jones weaves such a meticulously intricate Fugitive-style tale that makes Incredible Hulk such an entertaining read; more so than it has been in years. Issue #35, in which Bruce has a run-in with an autistic child, is completely dialogue free, yet all the more powerful thanks to John Romita Jr's cinematic-esque art. Since Jones has taken over writing duties on the Hulk, the book has become one of Marvel's best comics, and with the price this is an absolute must have for any comic or Hulk fan.
