Oppenheimer


It's hard to believe the end of another show is already almost here. Figured I'd share a photo of one more piece – it's called "Oppenheimer."

Upon seeing the first test of the atom bomb, which he helped create, Dr. J. Robert Oppenheimer said these words from the Hindu scriptural epic, Bhagavad Gita. The power of the atom has given us good and bad, and we see a dichotomy of intention and result in the character of the Hulk, whose comics are cut up to make this background of this papercut. There’s one snippet that’s not the Hulk: the Watchmen’s Dr. Manhattan makes an appearance as well. It includes:

•    Incredible Hulk #21 (Jun 2001) – John Romita, Jr.; #38 (May 2002)
•    Incredible Hulk #9 (Aug 2012) – Michael Komarck
•    The Incredible Hulk #240 (Oct 1979), #310 (Aug 1985), #448 (Dec 1996)
•    World War Hulk: Front Line #1 (Aug 2007), #5 (Dec 2007)
•    Marvel Fanfare #29 (Nov 1986) – John Byrne
•    Hulk #11 (Jun 2009) – Ed McGuinness
•    Giant-Size Incredible Hulk #1 (Jul 2008)
•    The Essential Hulk Volume One (1999) – Bruce Timm
•    Indestructible Hulk #6 (Jun 2013) – Walt Simonson
•    Hulk & Thing: Hard Knocks #2 (Dec 2004)
•    Before Watchmen: Ozymandias #5 (Mar 2013) – Jae Lee
