Part of a line of collections, lasting for 107 volumes, collecting popular and unique storylines from their history. This volume, Hulk: Heart Of The Atom, starts with Incredible Hulk #140, featuring Harlan Ellison's story "The Brute That Shouted Love At The Heart of the Atom," and features further stories starring Jarella and the realm of K'ai that appeared through the early 1980s.

The back cover text describes the story thusly: "A Legendary Love That Started Small. The Hulk can find enemies anywhere, even on a sub-molecular level--but love long eluded him until his atom-shattering romance with Jarella! The tiniest of worlds offered him all that he ever desired--but when the Hulk fights his way through obstacles on both Earth and K'ai, what will be left waiting for him? Guest-starring Doc Sampson and Captain Marvel, with appearances by Spider-Man, the Thing and more! 'Hail Hulk!'"
