Synopsis for "The Ringmaster"
Incredible Hulk #3
Meanwhile, the criminal thief known as the Ringmaster and his Circus of Crime move from town to town performing their act beneath the Big Top. The Ringmaster's hat is equipped with a special device that hypnotizes patrons, rendering them physically inert, enabling the Circus of Crime the chance to rob them while they remain immobile.
Rick Jones, tired of constantly watching over the Hulk decides to take a little time for himself. He goes to the circus and becomes one of dozens of people held beneath the Ringmaster's hypnotic gaze. Though he is unable to move, Rick still has temporary command of his faculties - as well as mental control over the Hulk. He broadcasts a telepathic cry for help, hoping that the Hulk will somehow hear his command before he is rendered completely powerless. The plan works, and the Hulk homes in on the source of the voice inside his mind.
The Hulk bursts through the Big Top tent and the Circus of Crime begin attacking him. The Human Cannonball launches himself at the Hulk, but the green behemoth sends him high into the sky with a single punch. The Ringmaster orders one of his cronies to blast the Hulk with a fire hose, claiming that "nothing that lives can withstand its pressure." This stuns the Hulk, making him collapse into the water and become motionless as he waits in vain for further commands from Rick. Believing that the Hulk was knocked unconscious, the Ringmaster's crony wraps him up in a net. The Hulk is loaded onto a caravan, and the Ringmaster decides to make him part of his next act.
The following day, the Ringmaster prepares to unveil the Hulk at their next performance. However, the FBI agents and a recovered Rick Jones track the Circus down, allowing the Hulk to break free and capture the Ringmaster. The Ringmaster's hat falls to the ground, and he is no longer able to hypnotize people.
Suddenly, soldiers led by General Ross storm the Big-Top and train their guns on the Hulk. Rick Jones climbs atop the Hulk's shoulders as the Hulk leaps out of the top of the tent to freedom. Ross shakes his fist in anger, swearing that one day he will capture the Hulk.Appearing in "Showdown in the Slums"

Notes
- Besides original comics, this annual has 2 original text stories, a short retelling of Hulk's history in comics prior to the annual and some materials related to the TV show: screenshots and Bixby/Ferrigno files.
- The Hulk and Banner have likenesses of Lou Ferrigno's Hulk and Bill Bixby, although these stories can't happen in the universe of the TV series, since Hulk is talking and also a bit stronger, than his TV counterpart. However, the stories have elements similar to the show. For example, Bruce Banner is seeking employment under some made-up names. There's also no classic Earth-616 villains in those stories and they are more grounded.
- The Exterminator from the book has nothing to do with The Exterminator from Earth-616.
