In FF #126, if I recall correctly, John Buscema shows the Thing in his dinosaur hide form and Ben, seeing it, remarks he's more rocky now. This was the first mention I ever saw of characters mentioning in a comic they look different over time. Can't find an image of it on line tho.

Jack Kirby's version, at upper left, will always be definitive for me.

Loved Herb Trimpe inked by John Severin, also a big fan of Marie Severin's work.

Man, JB. I really wish your run had been longer. How far ahead did you have your stories mapped out?

I like several versions of the Hulk, but this is the ideal, in my opinion:

Maybe I'm wrong but I seem to remember you using a similar pose for the Hulk during your run, JB, when Bruce Banner was showing the evolution of the Hulk from his first appearance to his then-current self. It's cool to see how this was a tribute to the version you like best. :)
