\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“I Was A Slave Of The Living Hulk” is a 13-page science fiction story by Jack Kirby first published in Marvel’s\u00a0JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #62 [1960]. Inks are by Dick Ayers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The “Living Hulk” of the title is a metallic alien giant named Xemnu who crashes in a remote swamp and is found be electrician Joe Harper. Harper manages to revive Xemnu with some high voltage electricity, but is shocked to discover Xemnu is an escaped criminal from a prison planet. \u00a0And I just love some of the throwaway aliens that Kirby puts in Xemnu’s fellow inmates. Xemnu plans to use his hypnosis powers to enslave the Earth and build a ship powerful enough to return him to his home planet, even though it would destroy the Earth in the process. As you’d expect, Harper is able to foil him at the last minute.<\/p>\n

Xemnu would be one of the few of monsters from these stories to get a sequel, just a few months later in\u00a0JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY #66 [1961], and makes many subsequent appearances in later Marvel comics.<\/p>\n
