World's Most Ironically Designed Military Base

Panel from Incredible Hulk (1968 series) #157 (November 1972), script by Archie Goodwin, pencils by Herb Trimpe, inks by Sal Trapani, letters by Jean Izzo

Seeing as it was conceived and headed by Hulk-hater General "Thunderbolt" Ross, we can be pretty certain he really didn't get the irony of his design! Here's a cool blueprint/map of Project Greenskin.

Herb Trimpe has been honored by the U.S. Air Force for his design of this air base!

(Actually, he's being honored by the Air Force's "Veterans in Blue" series, but that's pretty cool too!)

Wow, I didn't know all that, especially that Herb was in the Air Force! Very cool!
