Incredible Hulk, The (1968 series) #252

Hulk arrives at the mountain cabin in Colorado where Doc Samson and Thunderbolt Ross were staying. Only Doc Samson is there, injured, lying on the floor (after his battle with Woodgod). He tells the Hulk that the Changelings kidnapped Betty Ross, Rick Jones, Fred Sloan and Thunderbolt Ross.

Hulk goes to save his friends. When he gets to the Changelings town, they attack him. Meanwhile, Centaurus, the Changeling that was hurt, shot accidentally by Ross, is very ill. Woodgod gave him a healing elixir. But Leoninus secretly poisoned it and Centaurus dies.

The Changelings demand justice, which is to kill all humans. Leoninus backs such demand, appearing in the scene with evil Changelings of his own creation.

And the Hulk? He left, believing his friends didn’t want him around.
