Lost and Found Lenses

Illustrator Jack Kirby diligently kept track of Bruce Banner's glasses during the original run of The Incredible Hulk. Panels of Banner transforming into the Hulk consistently pictured the character removing his glasses. During these early issues, sidekick Rick Jones routinely took it upon himself to retrieve Dr. Banner's glasses for him. Even if Banner kept the same pair of glasses, the disheveled scientist certainly went through a lot of shirts changing to and from the Hulk.

This image of Rick Jones handing Bruce Banner his glasses comes from The Incredible Hulk #2 (July 1962).

I like the look of this site. I didn't know that the series was on CBS for four years, or that there was some attempt to match Banner's appearance on the show with regard to glasses. The Defenders once appeared in a comic with the Defenders of the Earth. There is a DoE site on Blogger, called DOEDatabase.
