The Savage She-Hulk #20

The Savage She-Hulk series was launched in 1980, primarily to secure the trademark for the character Jennifer Walters, who was created by Stan Lee and John Buscema. Issue number 20, published in 1981, arrives toward the end of the original title's short-lived run. During this period, the character was still finding her identity, transitioning from a more traditional Hulk-like narrative to the more nuanced, witty persona that would eventually define her in later decades.

The creative team for this era navigated a challenging editorial landscape, as the series struggled to maintain a distinct voice separate from its male counterpart. The art and writing for issue 20 reflect the standard production styles of early 1980s Marvel, characterized by dynamic panel compositions and an attempt to ground Jennifer Walters in a believable legal and social context. While the series was cancelled shortly after this issue, it remains a notable touchstone for collectors interested in the foundational development of a significant Marvel heroine.
