Incredible Hulk #427

"Six Months Later..."

Guest-starring the Man-Thing. Story by Peter David. Art by Liam Sharpe and Robin Riggs. Bruce and Betty have gone into hiding, but when you're the Incredible Hulk it's hard to keep a low profile. Plus, a predator stalks children and draws the attention of the macabre Man-Thing.

• This story states that the events of this tale happen six months after last issue. However, the Earth-616 universe operates on a Sliding Timescale in that four years worth of publications are condensed into a single year of time of the so-called modern age of the Marvel Universe. Due to such compression, the six month time period described here in the narrative would not fit the Sliding Timescale. As such, the length of time that has passed could be measured in days or weeks after compression depending on reader interpretation.
• This issue includes mentions to Dr. Fredric Wertham's book Seduction of the Innocent, with two characters (including Betty Banner) considering it less than interesting and not to be believed.
