From Comics to Toons: The Origin of the Incredible Hulk (1982)

When Stan Lee decided to add himself to the animation mix at Marvel by narrating The Incredible Hulk and Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends, you knew that Lee was going to see to it that the origins of the heroes would be told.

It's been 20 years since Da Hulkster's last series, so don't ya think he's overdue for a small screen solo series again?

Rating: A.
