Synopsis
Wandering New York City following his encounter with Dr. Strange,
Bruce Banner is lost in thought when he is clipped by a speeding truck.
The blow causes him to transform into the Hulk who then goes on a
rampage. However, the Hulk becomes confused and stops his temper tantrum
when the people around him, including the police officers try to stop
him suddenly vanish. The perplexed beast is totally unaware that his old
foe Tyrannus has been trying to teleport the jade giant to his
underground kingdom with a new experimental teleportation ray, however
has yet to be successful.
Needing an anchor to lock onto the Hulk, Tyrannus sends his
mysterious new agent the gigantic powerhouse named Mogol to travel to
the surface and attempt to get the Hulk to join his ranks in his attempt
to take back control of the Fountain of Youth which has been captured
by Tyrannus’ enemy the Mole Man. Teleporting Mogol near the Hulk on the
surface, Mogol’s request to the Hulk to help Tyrannus is denied when the
Hulk — vaguely remembering his old foe attacks Mogol. Their fight
takes them smashing through the street into a subway tunnel below. When
they are almost struck by a subway train the Hulk tries to destroy it.
Finding such an action pointless, Mogol tries to stop the Hulk and their
battle begins anew. However, during the fight, Mogol lands on the third
rail of the train track, which although does not hurt the giant,
somehow holds him in place. Mogol manages to convince the Hulk to not
only stop fighting and help him, but convinces the Hulk to be his
friend. when the two take each others hand in friendship they are
teleported to the kingdom of Tyrannus, during the time Mogol and Hulk
form a solid and genuine friendship.
The underworld ruler then has the Hulk assist in constructing
battlements for his army before pushing a campaign against the Mole Man.
Having anticipated such an attack, and knowing the “secret” regarding
Mogol’s past the Mole Man sends an army of Moloids on the counter
attack. During the fight the Moloids fire a heat ray at Mogol revealing
his secret: That he is a robot programmed by Tyrannus that had no idea
about it’s origins. Feeling betrayed, the Hulk attacks Mogol, ripping
the robot apart. Despite it’s claims that it is truly the Hulk’s friend,
the Hulk rends it to pieces the Hulk crushes it’s computer memory. With
Mogol destroyed, Tyrannus commands the Hulk to destroy the Mole Man’s
palace, the Hulk complies then jumps to the realm of Tyrannus and gives
it a similar treatment. With both kingdoms destroy, the depressed and
confused Hulk wanders off into the darkening tunnels below the Earth.

make peace with Baron Mordo.
Arriving in Transylvania, Strange begins to look for his old foe
and becomes captured by the Gypsy Queen, who hates all magicians after
Baron Mordo seduced her only to steal the Book of Cagliostro. She then
uses the enthralled Strange to travel with her to Baron Mordo’s castle,
where he fights the Living Gargoyle to gain possession of the book.
During the fight the Gypsy Queen is knocked out, freeing Strange from
her control. When she sees for herself how noble Strange is, she
sacrifices her life to help stop the Living Gargoyle. After the battle,
Strange looks over the Book of Cagliostro and learns that its power
