This classic story, by Roy Thomas, Herb Trimpe, and inker John Severin is held in high regard by both Hulk fans as well as professionals in the comics industry. If you've never read it before, I won't spoil it for you. Instead I'll just let it speak for itself. Maybe you'll see why it's one of the most reprinted Hulk episodes ever.
from The INCREDIBLE HULK #147, January 1972
"My other fave is Roy's beautiful little tale about the Hulk out in the desert fantasizing about being accepted by the denizens of a very small, bucolic town. It just tugs at your heart strings as this misanthrope is finally at peace in a quiet place until the images fade and the Hulk just can't deal with the loss of his only friends. The panel where he smashes his fist on the ground and shrieks, "Come Back!!" is overwhelming. Roy, Herb Trimpe and John Severin created a classic. I felt for the Hulk then as I never have before or since." - Ralph Macchio
