Tales to Astonish 1959 #72 - 3.5 - $12.00

Sub-Mariner continues his quest for The Trident of Neptune. Sub-Mariner escapes a seaweed menace only to succumb to the stupifying brillance of the Diamonds of Doom. Back in Atlantis, Krang is fed up with Lady Dorma rebuffing his advances and has her teleported into exile to the land of the Faceless Ones.

The Hulk finally agrees to follow the Leader and the big-brained one teleports him out just as Ross destroys Banner's old underground complex. Finding neither the Hulk or Banner, Ross and Talbot take Rick Jones into custody, believing he can answer all their questions. The Leader and the Hulk get to know each other a little better but the jade giant struggles with trying not to change back to Banner as he is still plagued with a bullet in his head that would kill his alter ego.
