Hulk Comic #15
Incredible Hulk
The Hulk is sleeping in the forest when he is suddenly approached by two humanoid animals calling themselves Felix and Fangor. Seeking out the Hulk for their master, Dr. Scarabeus, the creatures tie a rope to the Hulk and pull him away in a helicopter. However, the Hulk wakes up and tries to climb up and fight his two kidnappers. To stop this, they shoot the Hulk with a tranquilizer dart, putting the brute to sleep. The pair place the Hulk in a titanium lined cell until they arrive at the master's remote island on the Pacific. The tranquilizers caused the Hulk to change back into Bruce Banner, who is panicked with finding himself trapped in a room with no ventilation. Free from his bonds, Banner begins banging on the door of his cell begging to be let out.
Soon the helicopter lands on the island of Dr. Scarabeus who wishes to unlock the secret of the Hulk's great strength. As he approaches the cell containing his subject, Banner's panic triggers another transformation into the Hulk. The Hulk is so furious he manages to rip open the cell, much to the surprise of Dr. Scarabus.

Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Dum Dum Dugan, the Countess, and Nasar al Din are prisoners of Sept's field commander Abdul Kazir has them suspended in a globe over an open flame. The only way Fury can free them is by removing a globe from the pedestal in front of him, but it is most certainly a trap. Instead of removing it by hand, Fury decides to fire his particle-beam gun at it instead, foiling Kazir's attempts to eliminate him. With the ball imprisoning his friends about to land in the open flames, Fury then blasts the gas main cutting off the flames so when his friends fall, they are unharmed. While the heroes celebrate their victory, Abdul is contacted by his master "The One" who informs him that should he fail to eliminate Nick Fury, he will forfeit his own life.
As Kazir orders his men to regroup and attack the S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Nick Fury and his allies make their escape. Finding an exit hatch, Fury decides to take advantage of the design flaw of his particle-beam that Gaffer warned him about. Closing the barrel off, he turns the device on and tells the others to move it as if it is powered on for more than fifteen seconds it will explode. As they rush up the ladder, the particle-beam gun explodes causing the complex to flood with sand. Inside, Abdul Kazir's final words are curses upon Nick Fury and promises of revenge in Hell.
Although this Sept facility is now rendered harmless, Fury and his comrades are still stuck out in the middle of the desert with no means of getting back on their own.
