Incredible Hulk, The (1968 series) #380

Leslie Anne Shappe, known by her codename Weird Eight, is sentenced to death by electric chair for the high-profile assassination of a U.S. senator. Her reputation as a volatile metahuman and her erratic behavior during the investigation make her an easy target for conviction. Among those who testify against her is Doc Samson, whose psychological evaluation plays a key role in sealing her fate.

But after her execution, Samson uncovers disturbing evidence that casts doubt on the verdict. Through classified files and suppressed witness accounts, he learns that Leslie may have been manipulated—possibly even mind-controlled—during the time of the murder. The senator’s death, once thought to be a clear-cut case of vengeance, now appears to be part of a deeper conspiracy.

Tormented by guilt, Samson begins a quiet investigation, determined to uncover the truth behind Weird Eight’s final days. Her death becomes a haunting reminder of justice misfired—and the cost of certainty in a world full of shadows.
