Synopsis for "A Mighty Raging Fury!"
Fred Sloan is conducting interviews for his book about the Hulk, which he hopes will educate people on his one-time ally and how he is merely misunderstood. His first interview is with Kropotkin the Great, a stage magician who was briefly allied with the Hulk. At first, Sloan is almost fooled into believing that a mechanical duplicate of the Hulk is really his friend, but Kropotkin explains that it was something that they were throwing away around the time he left Gamma Base. Getting into the interview, Kropotkin explains how he first encountered Bruce Banner when he ended up renting out the magician's former apartment. This led to his brief association with the Hulk and his then-sidekick Jim Wilson. However, the magician states that the staff at the base kept him separated from the Hulk, particularly when he was being psychologically examined by Doc Samson. He was eventually removed from the base for being a security risk. Kropotkin hadn't seen the Hulk since, leaving Fred to believe that the magician only associated with the Hulk for his personal gain.
Elsewhere at a Cowabunga Burger restaurant, Bruce Banner is waiting to order when some masked men attempt to rob the place. When Banner warns them not to harm anybody, he is hit in the stomach with the butt of a gun. He turns into the Hulk and quickly dispatches the crooks. Seeing tables full of abandoned food, the Hulk claims it as his own and begins gorging. The owner of the restaurant offers the Hulk a complimentary bag of food if he leaves. The gamma-spawned monster snatches the bag and leaps away.
Fred Sloan interviews David Anderson, a retired soldier who worked at the Los Diablo Missile Base when Bruce Banner first became the Hulk. Anderson blames himself for the birth of the Hulk, since the accident happened on his watch. He also discusses eyewitness accounts of the Hulk. When Fred asks him about the change in the Hulk's skin color from gray to green, Anderson cannot confirm the change, only telling Sloan that when he first saw the Hulk for himself, the creature's skin was green.
As Fred continues his travels to interview people who encountered the Hulk, the subject of his book encounters some campers in an RV whose path has been impeded by a bear. When the Hulk scares off the bare, the couple in the RV continue to blare their horn at him, and he smashes the front of their vehicle before leaping away. Fred interviews Ray Moran. Moran explains how he was a successful salesman until the Hulk landed on and crushed the front end of his car. Nobody believed that his car was wrecked by the Hulk and that subsequently ruined his career and his entire life.
Later, at the Daily Grind coffee house, Fred interviews a barista named Maria who remembers the Hulk fondly. She recalls how when she was ten years old the Hulk saved her school bus when it was stalled on a railroad crossing with a train heading for it. Nobody saw the Hulk but her, and she has considered him a hero ever since. Fred is happy to hear someone has a positive story with the Hulk, and he relates to his own experience of how the Hulk saved him from some local toughs who tried to beat him up in a bar, and their subsequent adventures together. Later, Fred is driving through the San Mingo Mountains while on the phone with his agent. Remembering how the Hulk said this was a place he liked to go to be left alone, he decides to go and check it out. There he finds a group of protestors who are against the clear cutting of the area. Suddenly, the Hulk comes crashing onto the scene and smashes all the construction vehicles. Fred tires to stop the Hulk, but his van is wrecked. He rushes out and reminds the Hulk that they are friends, however the gamma-spawned monster hears sirens and flees the scene, leaving Fred behind.
After clearing the emergency room from injuries, Fred meets with his agent to discuss the book. His agent finds his most recent encounter with the Hulk frightening. When he sees that his book is going to be used to sensationalize the Hulk as a menace, he feels sorry for Bruce Banner. Elsewhere, Bruce wakes up on the California coast. Pulling himself off the beach he goes to a nearby store and buys a change of clothing with traveler's checks and resumes his endless wanderings with nothing but the looming presence of the Hulk eclipsing his tragic life.

Synopsis for ""The Evil That Is Cast...""
Incredible Hulk Annual #7
Meanwhile, Bobby Drake, aka Iceman, brings his girlfriend, Terri Sue Bottoms to the Rocky Mountains chalet of his friend and team-mate, the Avenging Angel, Warren Worthington III. As the friends are relaxing by the pool, they find themselves suddenly attacked by a disguised Master Mold. Master Mold captures Iceman, while the Angel flies off hoping to lure him away from Terri and his own girlfriend, Candy Southern.
Master Mold flies after him and before long, they reach the airspace over top of Gamma Base. The klaxons sound and Doc Samson runs out to face Master Mold. Master Mold quickly dispatches Doc Samson by slamming him into the side of one of the buildings, disrupting a formerly resting Hulk. The Hulk rampages outside just as Master Mold captures Angel. The giant robotic Sentinel then flies off, but the Hulk leaps onto him and piggybacks on Master Mold's foot.
Master Mold finally reaches his space station planetoid where he places Angel, Iceman and the Hulk into special tubes designed to dampen mutant powers. As the Hulk is not a mutant, he easily breaks free and releases the other two. The Hulk follows Master Mold back to his command center and lays into him. Master Mold tries to keep the Hulk at bay with a million volts of electricity, but this only stuns the Hulk momentarily who then proceeds to tear Master Mold into pieces. Afterward, the three heroes get into an escape pod and return to Earth.Solicit Synopsis
