Tales to Astonish 1959 #84 - reader copy - $13.00

Namor has lost his memory and the leader of the Secret Empire convinces him to track down and kill the Hulk. As Namor rushes around New York looking for the jade giant, he is zapped by a ray from Krang which only succeeds in restoring his memory.

Finding gamma base deserted and everybody gone, the Hulk heads to New York City to try and find his old friends in the Avengers but finds himself attacked once again by city police. Rick, hearing that the Hulk is in the Big Apple, gets a job driving a car to New York for a mysterious stranger who tells him to be sure not to look in the trunk.
