Where it came from
Published by Marvel Comics in 1965, Tales to Astonish #70 represents a pivotal moment in the Silver Age of comics as it marked the beginning of the iconic split-book format featuring both the Incredible Hulk and Sub-Mariner. This issue continued the momentum of the Marvel method, where artists were given significant creative freedom to develop plots and pacing alongside the writers.
The cover art and interior work for the Hulk segment were handled by legendary artist Steve Ditko, whose distinctively angular and psychologically grounded style provided a sharp contrast to the more swashbuckling aesthetic of the Sub-Mariner segments illustrated by Adam Austin. The issue was received as a milestone for solidifying the shared universe narrative, as it effectively juggled two distinct tones while maintaining the thematic cohesion that characterized Stan Lee’s editorial direction during this decade.
