Manic Monday--To The Hulk Cave, Old Chum

You know, I've read many an issue of the Hulk...

...and I'd never realized the he had a utility belt.

Or "wrist gauntlets." Or a "gamma radiation detector" (wouldn't that just be constantly going off if the Hulk wore it?!?

Maybe I just need to pay more attention...

And "ginchy gizmos"??

Ad from Master of Kung Fu #91 (1980)

  1. I notice that in the left hand box it says, "get the Spidey, Batman or Wonder Woman models" - a mix of Marvel and DC characters. That's kinda unusual.

  2. Not really.

    Happened all the time with that kind of ad back then.

    Also: The Hulk seems sad.

    Perhaps that's because he can't wear the gauntlets?

  3. 'Being in ad for cheap merchandise make Hulk sad.'

    I always wondered about those belts when I was a kid and what they'd be actually like in real life. Did anyone ever really cut up their comics to mail in for stuff like that?
