Our story opens with the Canadian government reining agent Wolverine back in from his unaccomplished mission of destroying the Hulk. He reluctantly retreats, and they send their special-op commandos to take on the brute. When even that doesn’t work, they detonate a huge sleeping gas bomb at him, which finally puts the Hulk out. When the Hulk comes to, he is flying high above the forest, carried by the agents in a steel cage. The Hulk angrily breaks free of his prison, and jumps away to safer pastures. After a day of bounding across the plains, night is approaching, and the Hulk slows down for a rest. He is making his way through the brush of the trees, when he hears someone playing music off in the distance. He goes into the bushes, where he comes upon an old black man playing “Nobody Knows The Troubles I’ve Seen” on a harmonica as he cooks up some beans over an open fire. Hulk is disillusioned and says “Bah! Is only another puny human!”, but the friendly gentleman introduces himself as Cracka-Jack Jackson and invites him to stay for a meal of beans. Meanwhile, two fugitives from the state prison are on the run. They are Johnny Anvil and Hammer Jackson, two men that are forced to be partners because they are chained to each other!! As they trudge through the swamp, they are confronted by a huge alien humanoid, who is wounded and beseeches their aid. The two evil men have no intention of helping this creature, and Hammer gets out a stolen revolver and shoots the alien multiple times, with the obvious intent to kill it. Unbelievably, however, the metal from the bullets are exactly what the alien needed to sustain his support systems, and he grants them a reward. He destroys the chain between them, but before they can react, he has replaced it with ANOTHER chain, this time one of gleaming gold! The two fugitives, of course, cannot believe their misfortune, and complain that it is just another handcuff, but the alien reveals it is a powerful Energy-Synthicon,... 1st appearance of Hammer and Anvil
