According to Heidi MacDonald's The Beat, Marvel Comics are finally publishing the long awaiting "Marvel indie anthology" project, a three-issue mini-series named Strange Tales, an anthology featuring a bevy of indie comics talent working on  Marvel's biggest name characters, starting in September.

This will include the long-lost Startling Stories: The Incorrigible Hulk by Peter Bagge, originally reported way back when and solicited by Marvel in 2003 as a sequel to his The Megalomaniacal Spider-Man. Begun during a period of experimentation within the company, the project was cancelled when the company became a little more conservative with their publications in the wake of big multi-media prospects. The George Clooney Nick Fury vehicle had already fallen due to the Garth Ennis-penned Fury series. There had been tabloid uproar over the planned revival of Princess Diana as a mutant zombie in X-Statix. The Ang Lee Hulk movie was out. And suddenly a publication featuring the green goliath as a "viagra-taking loon" went out of the window, although the original solicitation remains on Marvel's website.

This is long awaited, much appreciated news. And at $3.99 for 48 pages, I'm sure that's a price point we can all support. And prevent us freaking out like this…baggehulk-1

Now.. where is Andi Watson's completed Love-Fifteen series for Marvel? You know what? I bet that would make a great family film…
