![]() ![]() This introduces Walters, who is Bruce Banner’s cousin. Unusually for a comic as late as 1980, the first story is written by Stan Lee. Here She-Hulk, whilst retaining her intelligence (unlike the Hulk), is perpetually angry and goes through a lot of white mini-dresses, whilst her alter ego, Jennifer Walters, is constantly wracked with angst, unable to control her transformations. She is a result of John Byrne‘s later reinvention, partially drawing on developments fostered by David Anthony Kraft later in this run. This is not the fun-loving, ebullient character with whom they are familiar. Modern She-Hulk fans, however, will be surprised, and probably disappointed, by what they find. ![]() ![]() ![]() On its own, this material doesn’t really deserve the Marvel Masterworks treatment, and the only justification for representing the comics like this is the character’s later popularity. Marvel hit the ground, if not exactly running, at least at a brisk stroll, but early Spider-Woman stories are weak, and these first She-Hulk tales are, if anything, rather worse. One of the odd things about the trio of female versions of male superheroes Marvel introduced in the late 1970s is that all three have built up dedicated fan bases, despite their initial outings not being that good. ![]()
