Marvel will use a graphic novel format, roughly scheduled to run 100 pages. These new "Season One" graphic novels will bring many characters origin story into the present day.

This September will see the release of the "Hulk: Season One" original graphic novel by writer Fred Van Lente and artist Tom Fowler. Like the other "Season One" graphic novels, readers will be provided with the full story of the Hulk's origins as well as offering long time fans a look at what it would be like if they occurred in the 21st century.

Artist Tom Fowler, speaking with Comicbookreources, speaks on how the story will be set up:The wonderful part of Fred's (Fred Van Lente- Writer) original pitch for this was we essentially tackle the Hulk's origin in the first five pages...In the end, by page 100 we've gotten to what you know the Hulk to be. So we're not so much telling the origin of the Hulk. We're telling the origin of his status quo. We're turning these people into the fleshed out characters we know them to be today and that's a blast.



Here are some of Tom Fowler's rough sculpts for the upcoming book:



Here is an unofficial teaser poster setting the tone as well as the tentative cover

I'm assuming the scuptures are for lighting and detail accuracy when drawing pages? If so that is a kick-ass thing to do, I've got to try and apply that to my drawings.

Anything with the hulk is a must, If only it was written by Bruce Jones or Peter David.

In 1960 Julius Schwarts plays a round of golf with Martin Goodman and tells him their new "Brave and the Bold" title with the Justice League is selling well and the next thing you know Goodman is telling Stan Lee that superheroes are back in style and to go create some titles. He starts with the Fantastic Four. They've been borrowing from each other since the golden age for cryin out loud. Get over it. Sheesh!
