The Incredible Hulk Returns to Denver Comic Con

Written by John Edward Betancourt

If there's something I've noticed when it comes to the many conventions out there, it's that sometimes you see guests that come back year after year, becoming something of a fixture at that convention and I think that's one of the biggest compliments a convention can get. 

It means that not only did that guest have an amazing time the first time they came to said convention, they have a great time year after year and Denver Comic Con is certainly no exception to this proud tradition with the announcement of the return of another iconic guest, The Incredible Hulk himself, Lou Ferrigno.  

For those unfamiliar with Mister Ferrigno and his career, Lou is a comic book legend having played the part of the Incredible Hulk in the 1978 television series of the same namesake and well, he was nothing short of incredible. In a time where CGI was an expensive venture and practical effects ruled the land, Lou was simply imagination come to life. While the show itself was actually amazing as well and filled with a quality plot, production values and solid acting, I know we all wanted to see one thing, the Hulk, and Lou made the part his own. 

Of course Lou has had a rich career following the show as well, showing up on television shows like The King of Queens and Chuck, plus you can even hear his voice acting work on Adventure Time, but he has never turned his back on the role that made him famous.  After all he even showed up in Marvel's first big screen adaptation of the character with a cameo in Hulk, and he continues to lend his voice to the character, reprising the role vocally in the 1996-1997 animated series The Incredible Hulk and in both Avengers motion pictures. 

Regardless, I think it's fantastic that Lou enjoyed his time at Denver Comic Con 2014 enough that he is coming back for 2015 and I certainly hope he becomes a yearly mainstay at the convention where we can all just swing by and say hello to this comic book legend.  Can't wait to see him again in May!
