Title: Marvel Fanfare
Issue Number: 47
Release Date: November 1989
Highlights
- Despite being from 1989, this issue takes place in the timeline of Spider-Man from January 1984
- First appearance of Quartermast Waldo, Captain Loffler, and Councilman Wade
- Bruce Banner undertakes a space mission for S.H.I.E.L.D.
- Note: At this point in time, Bruce can turn into the Hulk at will, controlling him, and retaining his own mind
- While inspecting a satellite, a pink substance begins eating through his suit
- The substance turns Hulk into a rampaging monster, and S.H.I.E.L.D jettisons him from their helicarrier, sending him dropping to Earth from the upper atmosphere
- A group of wood be muggers attempt to rob Peter Parker, and are stopped by the explosion of the Hulk hitting the ground near them - Ironically, Spider-Man saves them from the falling debris
- The story is a chaotic mess of non-stop action that doesn't give the reader a moment to breath
- It was so obvious from the beginning that the story was going the route of War Of The World, with a common Earth illness defeating the alien
Oddities
- Peter tells J. Jonah Jameson at the beginning of the story that he's go a flu bug, and then at the end tells him that he must have caught Spider-Man's bug while taking photos
