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!
