I collected the actual comics when I was young and really looked forward to walking down memory lane. It was fun to leaf through, but after reading a few pages I realized how lame the actual writing was and I was bored. This is great for kids learning to read or hard core fans, but if you read actual books, you will be wasting your time.

If you like Herb Trimpe's version of the Hulk; you'll love this one. In it are classics by Harlan Ellison and Roy Thomas. It's so hard to believe that both Ellison and Roy Thomas are no longer writing for Marvel anymore. It doesn't seem like all that time has passed. If you love good seventies comics, then this volume of the Hulk is one of the best. I wish artist Herb Trimpe were still drawing the book today. It was a mistake...
