Groove's Faves: "It's a Monster!" by Moench, Colan, and Wiacek

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! Teen Groove (and a lot of other Groove-ophiles, no doubt) really, really dug The Hulk! color mag. Not only was the MarvelColor technique totally far-out (pointing toward today's computer coloring and heavier paper stock), but writer Doug Moench's stories took on the tone of the even more popular Hulk TV show of the day, with it's down-to-earth morality tales. The coolest part was that while The Hulk! had the realistic feel of the show, it featured the real Hulk who could smash stuff like no TV budget would ever allow! So in The Hulk #19 (December 1979), Moench gives us a cool, thoughtful story enhanced by the power-packed art of Gene Colan and Bob Wiacek! John Tartaglione's colors add greatly to the realistic feel. But that's my opinion about "It's a Monster!", your opinions may vary. 'Cause like the story poignantly points out, what we think about something is all based on our own individual perspectives...
