The Incredible Hulk (1982 TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Incredible Hulk was an American 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.

Unlike the live-action The Incredible Hulk TV series, this series was based more closely upon the Hulk comic in regards to the origin story (albeit with supposedly alien involvement), as well as featuring more characters from the comics including Rick Jones, Betty Ross, and General Ross. Bruce Banner was voiced by voice actor Michael Bell, while the Hulk himself was voiced by Bob Holt, whose stock library of roars created for this series would be used in various other Marvel Productions series and movies.

The series is often fondly remembered for the overwrought nature of its musical score and accompanying narration by Hulk creator Stan Lee.
