While the Moore Hulk material will no doubt be in limbo for at least
years to come, there seems to be a hefty bit of Marvel UK material
based more on the Bixby-Ferigno/Kenneth Johnson Hulk...

Like many titles published by the company under Dez Skinn, Hulk Comic
featured new material produced by British creators such as Steve
American reprints drawn from the Lee/Kirby Marvel back-catalogue.
[...]
The title included new Hulk material drawn by Dave Gibbons and Steve
Dillon. This material was significant in that it portrayed the
illiterate, wandering Hulk of the 1970s television series. Issue 15 to
20 included Hulk being trapped on an island with Dr Scarabeus - the
first mainstream comic work for writer Alan Moore (with penciller Paul
Neary and inker David Lloyd)[2][3] Once the title began featuring
American reprints, it chose to display the Marvel Universe Hulk as
depicted by Sal Buscema. Dave Gibbons (born April 14, 1949) is a

"The Incredible Hulk" -
Writer(s):
Steve Moore
Penciller(s):
Dave Gibbons
Inker(s):
Dave Gibbons
Characters: Add/remove characters to this story
Hulk (from 1970's TV show)
Synopsis:
After being struck by lightning in the small town of Arbory, Hulk
touches random metal objects through town, instinctively finding a way
to discharge the electricity from his body. In the process he re-
illuminates a darkened street, serving up two petty criminals to the
oncoming police. After firing their guns at the police, the crooks try
to escape by car. Hulk stands in the way of their oncoming car, and
the impact kills them. However, the car acts as a lightning rod for
Hulk's over-electified body. When the cops make it to the scene, they
struck by lightning. His biochemistry returning to normal levels, Hulk
back into Dr. Bruce Banner.
Notes:
Banner never appears in this strip, and Hulk himself is obviously not
literate.
Though an American setting is convincingly displayed here, British
spellings of words bely that this is an original Marvel UK story.
