Tales to Astonish #69 Synopsis by Julio Molina-Muscara
The Leader orders his Humanoids to bring the Absorbatron and the Hulk to his lair where he initiates a series of tests on the green giant. Unseen, the "patient" turns into Bruce Banner who manages to send S.O.S. messages using Morse code. 

The Leader finds the chamber empty and fills it with gas. Banner turns into the Hulk and breaks free. Hulk follows his captor up to the Absorbatron room and destroys the device. But the villain escapes. 

Meanwhile, Glenn Talbot and his soldiers arrive at the Leader's liar. One soldier spots the Hulk and shoots him. The bullet hits its target on the head while the Hulk was in mid transformation! The soldiers look for Jade Jaws but instead, find Banner, who is dead!
