From the Dust Jacket:

FAR OUT! Who's this creature Sh'mballah who controls the minds and lives of the people in Crater Falls, North Dakota?

SHOCKING! He's not a who--he's a what. He's a tentacle-waving, electrified weirdo exiled from his own planet.

BRUTAL! The Hulk thinks Sh'mballah is cruising for a bruising. But can the green goliath marvelman beat the interplanetary baddie?

COLOSSAL! General Ross of the Army is doubtful. The Hulk's faithful sidekick is doubtful. But the Incredible Hulk is sure--he won't let Sh'mballah control him. No matter what ol' fettuccine-feelers thinks!

Some relevant characters:

• Dr. Stern: Scientist. Bruce Banner's mentor. Hires a lot of part-time help.
• Alma : Dr. Stern's part-time "housekeeper."
• Rick Jones: desperately needs a job. Somewhere else in the Marvel canon, he's the Hulk's best friend, sidekick, and fellow space-farer.
• Linda Connelly: Dr. Stern's part-time "secretary." Has auburn hair.
• General Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross: Loves helicopters. Is rude.
• Quartermain: Shield employee stationed at the Gamma Base in Crater Falls. Horny?
