THE INCREDIBLE HULK 1982
ALL 13 UNCUT ANIMATED EPISODES ON DVD
COMPLETE WITH DISC
ARTWORK
The Incredible Hulk
is an animated television series based on the
Marvel Comics
character of the same name. The series
ran for 13 episodes on
NBC in
1982, part of a combined hour with
Spider-Man and His
Amazing Friends
(as
The Amazing Spider-Man and The Incredible Hulk
).
The series is often fondly remembered for the
overwrought nature of its musical score and accompanying narration
by Hulk creator
Stan Lee. Some of the same background music
tracks were used for
Dungeons &
Dragons
.
Unlike the live-action
The Incredible Hulk
TV series, which wound up the year this was produced, this
series was based more closely upon the Hulk comic in regards to the
origin story (albeit with supposedly
alien involvement rather than
Soviet spies), as well as featuring more
characters from the comics including
Rick Jones (who would often refer
to Bruce as "Doc"), Major Ned Talbot, who was essentially the same
character as
Glenn Talbot (although perhaps a little
less intelligent and more clumsy then his comic book counterpart
and as a result of this is referred to by his men as Noodlehead
Ned),
Betty Ross, and
General Ross, along with the first
cartoon appearance of the
She-Hulk. Yet only one classic Hulk villain
appeared in a single episode of the series,
The Leader, with a number of villains
normally associated with other Marvel characters and newly created
foes filling out the other episodes.
Also introduced were the
Hispanic family of Rio and his daughter Rita,
the father and his efforts to advertise his restaurant (Rio's
Rancheros) providing more chances for comic relief and Rita
providing a love interest for Rick Jones.
