The Hulk returns in the only official novel to accompany the new film. Created in 1962 by Stan Lee for Marvel Comics. The Hulk has earned a place amongst the very few tasting comic-book superheroes. From this beginning came The Incredible Hulk TV series of the late 1970s starring Bill Bixby. Now, in summer 2003 the legend is to return in a dramatic big-screen adaptation that takes The Hulk back to his classic roots. Directed by Ang Lee (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), and starring Eric Bana (Black Hawk Down) and Jennifer Connelly (A Beautiful Mind), this will be a completely modern interpretation of the original Hulk story. The Hulk is depicted as a superhero and a monster, a wish fulfillment and a nightmare, and is projected into the dangers and aspirations of contemporary times. This is the novel of the must-see movie of 2003.
