The Incredible Hulk Presents



The Incredible Hulk Presents was a short-lived weekly comic produced in the United Kingdom by the British division of Marvel Comics in 1989. Amongst other material it contained new Doctor Who strips in black & white. The comic was launched on the 30th September 1989, with issue #1 bearing a cover date of 7th October 1989, and lasted twelve issues, costing 40p for the entirety of its run.

The original intention was for the new comic strips to also be reprinted in Doctor Who Magazine as Marvel UK did not believe the two readerships would overlap. However DWM editor John Freeman was opposed has he believed this would interfere with his own attempts to give the DWM strip direction. In the event only one story was printed in both titles, Hunger from the Ends of Time.

The other strips included were:


 * The Incredible Hulk - reprinting strips from the US title The Incredible Hulk from the 1970s
 * Action Force/G.I. Joe the Action Force - reprinting strips from the US G.I. Joe Special Missions with the title initially changed to "Action Force" for the UK market.
 * Indiana Jones - reprinting first the Marvel US adaptations of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade then further Indiana Jones adventures
