Is that you Hulk/Or just a brilliant disguise

Let's look at one of my favorite Thing/Hulk moments, ever. It takes place in the seldom-seen The Hulk and the Thing: The Big Change graphic novel by Jim Starlin and Bernie Wrightson. The dynamic duo of Ben 'n' Bruce are stranded on an alien world, trying to fit in until they can find something appropriate to (respectively) clobber and smash. But even on a planet populated by weirdies straight outta the Star Wars cantina scene, a giant orange guy and a monstrous green stand out like a sore tentacle. The quicksilver mind of Benjamin J. Grimm snaps into action: the pair need disguises:

I know the Hulk these days is a hero all filled with angst, anger and tragedy these days...but you sure can't beat the days when he used to wear a silly squid hat.
