The Savage She-Hulk #16

The Savage She-Hulk #16, published in 1981, represents the final issue of the character's initial solo series. Created by Stan Lee and John Buscema in 1980, the series was designed to capitalize on the popularity of the television show The Incredible Hulk by introducing a female counterpart to the character. By the time issue #16 reached shelves, the title had struggled to find a consistent audience, leading to its cancellation and the character's subsequent transition into guest appearances in other Marvel publications.

This issue was written by Michael Fleisher and featured cover art by Frank Miller, who was gaining significant industry acclaim at the time for his work on Daredevil. The narrative trajectory of this specific installment reflected the series' attempt to ground Jennifer Walters in a more traditional legal and personal drama, a theme that served as a precursor to her more successful reinventions in later decades by writers such as John Byrne. While the series was not a commercial success upon its debut, the issues serve as a key historical touchstone for the expansion of the Marvel comic book universe during the early 1980s.
