After seeing how Trimpe is running away with this poll maybe I need to revisit his runs on Hulk Trimpe’s run on Hulk is one of my TOP FIVE long runs in all of comics. My favorite short run on the title is Hulk #157 to #171. And my favorite Hulk story is Hulk #115 to #117, a Leader storyline that has creeped me out since I first saw it as a kid in the late 1970s when I bought them as back issues. The Leader’s motivations ... he’s a scary dude!

I loved the rendition of the Avengers and the cover with Goliath punching through the ground just grabbed me at age 10. I have probably owned about 3 copies of this since 1978 and I finally have a VF copy

I feel like Marie Severin should be on this list... not for quantity, but quality.

Generally speaking, I am NOT a fan of JRJr's work, but there have been a few exceptions. Once in awhile he finds a font of inspiration and really knocks something out of the park - I think his Hulk issues with Bruce Jones were one of those instances. His later Hulk issues during the Greg Pak years, not so much... I agree that that is some of his better work. I really liked that Bruce Jones run.

I'll take Trimpe's Hulk, but with John Severin's inks, please. Yup, there's a very strong case for that team to be number 1, though I went with Marie Severin. Can't recal if I said this already, but I would love to have seen the Trimpe+Severin team work on other series as well. Their style would have worked well on an REH series, for example. Or maybe John Carter or Skull the Slayer.

John Byrne for me. You can feel the brute power and sheer scale of his Hulk, he towers over characters and fills entire panels. Byrne's Hulk also harkens back to Kirby's original in that he's not a misunderstood good guy, he really is a mean monster.

I couldn't find the panel I wanted from this issue (Hulk Annual #7), but even at rest, he looked imposing.
