Then in the sixties Marvel Comics with Stan Lee and Jack Kirby with Steve Ditko and many others brought a explosion of unfettered talent and created stories that tied together for many issues and brought the reader…

Plus the restart of the series with Thor and Asgard written by J. Michael Straczynski an outstanding writer. And the restart of the Hulk series introducing the Red Hulk a meaner more sinister Hulk written…
