Planet Hulk (Marvel Premier Collection)

About the Author

Film director and screenwriter Greg Pak's first feature, the sci-fi anthology Robot Stories, won 35 awards; he broke into the comics industry when his agent sent Marvel the screenplay. After writing a Warlock reboot, Pak made a splash with the X-Men- Phoenix - Endsong limited series and a lengthy run on Incredible Hulk, highlighted by the "Planet Hulk" storyline and the World War Hulk crossover. In addition to the acclaimed Magneto- Testament and Red Skull- Incarnate limited series, a War Machine revival and the retitled Incredible Hulks, Pak has written Dynamite's Battlestar Galactica and contributed to Secret Identities- The Asian American Superhero Anthology. His efforts with co-writer Fred Van Lente include Incredible Hercules, Herc, Heroic Age- Prince of Power, an Alpha Flight relaunch and the Chaos War crossover. Pak introduced Amadeus Cho as a new Green Goliath in The Totally Awesome Hulk and delivered mutant mayhem in Weapon X. Filipino artist Carlo Pagulayan's earliest Marvel work came on titles such as New X-Men- Academy X, X-Men Unlimited and Marvel Adventures Fantastic Four. His knack for drawing beautiful women earned him longer runs on Elektra and Emma Frost before a dramatic switch to Incredible Hulk, for which he illustrated the fan-favorite "Planet Hulk" storyline. Besides drawing titles including Agents of Atlas, Hulk and Iron Man, Pagulayan has also ventured into three dimensions, sculpting a Planet Hulk mini-bust for Bowen Designs.
