Buried amid Roger Stern's 1977-1979 run on INCREDIBLE HULK is a Jimmy Carter appearance in issue 238, cover-dated August 1979. In the opening scene, President Carter, alongside then-governor Jerry Brown of California, examinie the ruins of several devastated city blocks after the latest Hulk battle hit the area.
Writers always had fun capturing President Carter's southern accent in dialogue, with golden nuggets like:
"I'm Afraid his powah is far beyond the limits of ouah imagination."
And driving away in his presidential limo, Carter further contemplates in silent thought:
"Something must be done about this "Hulk problem'. It could become a bigger issue than inflation!"
Which is really funny in retrospect, because we know inflation was never more of an issue than when Jimmy Carter was president. Arguably the issue that cost him re-election in a Reagan landslide just a year later in Nov 1980.
