In yet another tale that I think I’ve read before when Lee and Kirby did it, the Hulk takes refuge in a circus. Only it’s not to hide out from the Avengers in issue 3. Here, the circus is held hostage by the mutant duo of Blob and Unis the Untouchable. With Unis’ force field going out of control, the Hulk sees it as a sign of aggression and decides to use deadly force. The retro art and shocking ending makes for an enjoyable tale that I thought was going to be a repeat of stuff I’d already read. Thankfully, that is not the case.
Then in probably the saddest story of all-time, Daredevil offers to help a blind boy whose seeing-eye dog got spooked and is on the lam. It’s a race against the dog catcher and death itself that ends oh so tragically. I cannot bear to ever read that sad tale ever again. But it was so powerful, it should have won some major comic awards when published in 82-83.
