A trapezoid does not equal a mouth.

That gaping mouth of his-everyone gaped, no matter the circumstance-

sometimes with spittle!

Nothing depicts a massive blow like the word "FROM"....

He could capture the rage monster look of the character really well.

A good replacement for Herb Trimpe in the 70s.

Yup. It doesn’t work as a sound effect, but you have to respect experimentation.

Totally agree that Romita was somewhat involved in this drawing.

No way it is 100% Sal's artwork only...

Agreed. Very reminiscent of Hulk 181's cover.

I always thought Sal was under-appreciated compared to John.  The first book I bought was Defenders 2 and the cover hooked me.  And call me crazy, which many have including myself, but his Valkyrie was hot.

Picture?

Here’s a Gil Kane cover with John Romita alterations, particularly clear on Werewolf’s face...

 

Compare with the even more feral-looking original by Kane...

Did Frank Robbins ever draw Hulk? 
 

That would be the objective benchmark to judge Sal against.

If you are talking about the Defenders 2, I still have it and I have posted it before but here it is again.  I still think it a damned good cover.

If you mean Valkyrie, one of personal favs is Avengers 83 - my copy below the Defenders

I agree that's a great looking Valkyrie!

My god, I snafued - that is John's cover not Sal's. 

I am such a newb but here is one image with a quick search.

I do agree with Paul @Ken Aldred that I felt John was more polished and accomplished but Sal was a stalwart and still favorite of mine.

Still super nice!

Frank Robbins drew the Hulk in Ghost Rider #12, a one-panel flashback to GR #11, which Sal had drawn.

It really, really looks like John Romita re-drew his face. I'd love to see the original art for this to see if there were corrections.

Don't know which came first but the faces are different;

While we are on the subject, can anyone tell me what book this picture comes from? I want it.

Top-of-my-head guess: Hulk 214 / 217 / 219 or 220.

It looks like Ernie Chan inks over Buscema. I think EC inked Buscema from about 210-220.

Seems like the Hulk was in the water a *lot* in these issues!

But it could also be Alfredo Alcala inks (which would be Hulk 221)
