GIANT-SIZE SUPER STARS #1 (1974)

Note that for some odd reason, subsequent issues of this Giant-Size series will be titled, “Giant-Size Fantastic Four.” Actually, that’s not odd. What’s odd is that this issue ISN’T called “Giant-Size Fantastic Four.” Because it reprints some old FF stories and has one new one. I guess it is because this book is the one that launched the Giant Size format.

The story is pretty simple. Hulk vs Thing at Madison Square Garden.

I’d plunk down a sawbuck to see that!

Only they get body-switched as a result of Bruce Banner’s failed attempt to cure Thing. So when the other FF-ers show up to stop Hulk from killing Thing, they’re really stopping Thing from stopping Hulk who is in Thing’s body. Got it?

And we see signs of Thundra’s crush on Thing, which eventually becomes a full-blown relationship.

Lots of fun.
