Incredible Hulk, The (1977)
Scarce, original UK quad movie poster for Kenneth Johnson’s 1977 Marvel super hero actioner “The Incredible Hulk”. One of the biggest and most successful TV shows of the 1970s started life in the UK as a two hour cinematic release, as audiences saw mild-mannered scientist – Bruce Banner (Bill Bixby) transform into the Incredible Hulk (Lou Ferrigno). Both feature on the British quad offered here complemented by bright green (naturally) title imagery taken directly from the comic book. Having a limited release, this is a rare poster.
The Incredible Hulk, the live-action TV series based on the popular Marvel Comics character, was preceded by a 2-hour TV-movie pilot. Bill Bixby stars as Dr. David Banner (Bruce Banner in the original comic books), a scientist whose experimentation with gamma rays has a most dramatic effect. Whenever his anger is aroused, Dr. Banner turns into a huge, green, rampaging monstrosity called the Hulk (played by bodybuilder Lou Ferrigno). Unjustly accused of being a criminal in his "Hulk" guise, Dr. Banner is forced to take it on the lam. In Fugitive fashion, the subsequent series found Dr. Banner and his alter-ego Hulk helping people in distress. Written, produced and directed by Kenneth Johnson, the Incredible Hulk pilot was first broadcast November 4, 1977.
