DescriptionI tend to like lots of ink on the page, and if there's a monster lurking, its head festooned with tentacles, extra eyes, and bad dentition, so massive that Hulk serves as a scale bar at the bottom of the page beside his scarred but cute and sympathetic sidekick like some Hulk tales of old, framed by hand-drawn lettering and plenty of atmospherics, I’m reaching for my wallet.This is my favorite Hulk series in a long time. Klein's imagery for this story includes strong hints of Corben and Wrightson, with terrific use of half tones and washes recalling the great Warren horror magazines from my youth, but Klein's art, and his Hulk design, are uniquely his. He uses lots of reflected light on the figures against dark backgrounds, which really pushes the sense of volume and mass of Hulk and this Lovecraftian beast. With the amount of effort evident in the penciling and inking of these amazing pages, it's no surprise Klein is off for a couple issues before he again assumes interior art duties. I would have been happy to land any page from the first three issues, but this monstrous image called to me in particular and somehow it worked out and my request was granted despite the fun but frenzied art drop we've come to expect at FCA. So glad to finally get some Nic Klein art in my collection! And just in time for Halloween, to boot. A tip of the hat to Felix for yet another smooth transaction! Thanks for taking a look!

Jeeze dude! This is an absolute monster page, talk about an imposing figure. But we all knew he was no match for the Hulk! Congrats on this beauty.

Finally, it takes someone with the creature design vision of Nic Klein to come up with a monster who can challenge the Hulk. I hope he doesn't turn into a jobber and will come back for the long term. With a name like Tidwell, Brother Deep had me at "hello". You'd think he'd show the Hulk the real meaning of "quan".

I found that (so far) the art eclipses the writing on this series.
The sense of scale on this splash is fantastic!

Every edge of the page is filled with monstrosity. Exquisite lighting by Klein.

Using the onomatopoeia as a light source is such a brilliant trick. I don't think I've seen that before, but I hope to see it again. It really adds a nice element to such a great inky page. And the Wrightson/Corben homage stylings are so nice. Excellent Hulk page from Klein, to be sure. Artless Smash!

Nice page! I love a lot of ink on a page as well. And this one certainly has some ink on it. The monster is so cool. It great to see the Hulk battling new monsters. Nic is killing it on this book.

The perspective here really sells the scale, great piece by Klien!

WOW! Such a powerfully ominous splash! The sound effect really sets it all off juxtaposed against the bottom figures and the towering monster. Love it.

Stunning page from Nic Klein! I love Klein's work on the Incredible Hulk. His ink washes give the monsters Hulk battles so much weight and solidity that they seem almost real. This creature is so gargantuan and so powerful looking that it really seems like it will pose a challenge for the Hulk. Great pick-up, congrats!

So awesome. I mean, if you were going to pick a piece to exemplify the run...
Great dritty detail matched with that lighting effect. And LOVE when sound effect lettering is drawn right on the board! Congrats!

This...is bloody remarkable!
Beautiful page - one of the coolest splashies in the current run; hell, a contender for one of the finest Hulk splash pages ever!
Definitely has a rich, dense Corben/Wrightsonesque vibe, but Klein's naunced, weighty inking has a unique mastery all it's own.
Klein will certainly be recognised as one of the finest Hulk artists of all time. I'm part jealous, but more happy as hell to see this inconically Hulkerific page in good hands, being shared and celebrated.
Whatever you paid for it, well worth it. And thank you.
