1st appearance of Glen Talbot - Cover by Jack Kirby and Chic Stone. Now Walks the Android, script by Stan Lee, art by Steve Ditko, Joe Orlando, and George Roussos (as George Bell); Egghead uses a simple clothing store dummy to create a giant and powerful android which he plans on controlling mentally as it battles and defeats Giant-Man; He entices his arch-foe into his trap with the promise of a television series based on his heroic exploits (actually, it is Jan who is pretty keen on getting Hank into show biz). Captured at Last!, script by Stan Lee, art by Steve Ditko and George Roussos (as George Bell); The Hulk takes on the indestructable Banner created robot and, in one of the more dubious plot devices in comics, succeeds in kicking him down a bottomless hole when he realizes that he cannot beat the machine; Glenn Talbot arrives on gamma base sent by the Pentagon to keep an eye on the suspicious activity of Bruce Banner; Glenn decides that keeping an eye on Betty seems like a good idea as well. 36 pgs., full color. Cover price $0.12.
