Synopsis for ""Mightier Than the Sword?""

Reprint of the 1st story from
Avengers #65

Egghead hires the Swordsman to break into Avengers mansion to get revenge on his old foe Giant-Man, enticing him into going by revealing the young Clint Barton who he trained long ago eventually grew to become the Avenger known as Hawkeye.

Breaking into Avengers mansion and confronting the Avengers, the Swordsman learns that Hawkeye is now calling himself Goliath. Goliath stops the other Avengers from getting involved in his personal battle against the Swordsman, and the two fight one on one. The Swordsman defeats Goliath and captures him, figuring that Barton could have been the Goliath that Egghead always fought (Egghead is not aware at this point that Henry Pym had become Yellowjacket.) Delivering Goliath to Egghead, Egghead refuses to pay the Swordsman because he brought him the wrong man. While the two fight it out, Goliath regains consciousness and easily defeats the two crooks.

Synopsis for "The Incredible Hulk"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Hulk Comic (UK) #2

Bruce Banner arrives in the town of Retribution where he takes a cab from a woman named Jody to find some lodging for the night. The two get to talking, and Banner explains that he has come to the area to find a scientist that can possibly cure his "multiple personalities". Along the way, they witness a hot rodder named Leroy out racing his car, the Wild-Cat.

The street racer forces the cab off the road causing it to crash. Banner is uninjured but Jody is seriously harmed. Losing control, Banner then transforms into the Hulk. The Hulk then pulls Jody from the wreck before the cab explodes. The Hulk then tracks down Leroy who is about to street race with another hot rodder named Billy. He then grabs the bumpers of their cars to stop them from speeding off.

The Hulk then smashes their rides and orders the two men to take Jody to the hospital. Several days later, Banner visits Jody in the hospital and learns that she is expected to have a full recovery. Since is time for him to move on, Banner says his goodbyes. When Billy offers Banner a ride out of town, he declines telling the man that he would prefer to walk.
