Notes & Trivia

 * This issue is reprinted in black and white in the Essential Hulk, Volume 4 trade paperback collection. It is also partially reprinted in Mighty World of Marvel #160.


 * Betty Ross and Glenn Talbot were married in Incredible Hulk #158.


 * This is the first appearance of Paul Cartier, aka the Wendigo. He appears next in Incredible Hulk #180, which is also notable for the cameo introduction of a certain pint-sized Canadian mutant with an attitude. Here's a hint: He has claws.


 * This is the first appearance of Georges Baptiste.


 * This is the first appearance of Marie Cartier.


 * Pierre Trudeau was the Prime Minister of Canada at the time of this issue's publication. Given the logistics of the passage of time in the Marvel Universe, this is considered a non-canon topical reference.


 * The Hulk seems to enjoy rampaging through Canada. While there, he also makes some trouble for the Canadian Army at the Maskattawan Dam in Quebec over in Amazing Spider-Man #119-120. Fortunately, a certain American costumed wall-crawler just happens to be in Montreal when all of this goes down.
