Can you identify all these '70's Hulk characters?
I couldn't, most are easy but...

I love that era of HULK stories!

This was when I was getting back into reading comics, starting in the early Seventies, but it was not a period for the Hulk that appealed to me. I think I’d be lucky to get half those characters.

Well, I see Jarella and Hammer and Anvil and Doc Samson and the Ringmaster and Glob (and obviously Thunderbolt Ross, the Leader, Glenn Talbot).

Looks like maybe Kang there by the Ringmaster, but the image is pretty small.

Don't know the rest.

On second thoughts, that's not the Ringmaster is it?

Not the Ringmaster, Peter.

Sorry about the size, wouldn't let me post it any larger for some reason.

Cracker Jack Jackson. (in the top hat)

Wendigo.

Jim Wilson.

The Mole Man and some Moloids.

Col. Jack Arbruster (just below floating Hulk head)

The Inheritor. (giant figure behind the Mole Man)

Rick Jones.

Xeron (the guy with the javelin-type thing)

The one I don't recognize is the young girl near Banner's knee.

The Inheritor was one of the ones I couldn't get.
I remembered the girls character that Robert doesn't recognize but could not recall the name.
The other I couldn't get was the guy behind Jarella.

I know who they are now after cheating.

Yeah, I'm at a loss for that guy, it looks like Banner, but I assume it's not.

That's Talia, Jim Wilson's girlfriend there by the Hulk's knee.

I'm still working on finding a large enough image to identify the character behind Jarella.

As far as I can determine, Jarella is in front of Doc Samson and the Bi-beast. But I had to magnify it, so I could easily be wrong.

Bi-Beast didn't have a tail so far as I can determine, so I think that's supposed to be the Wendigo. Bi-Beast was also orange.

The character still left unidentified is lower in the image, down by Jarella's left leg.

In Hulk #227, there is a small gathering of characters whom the Hulk has thought of as friends and who died as a result. Crackajack Jackson is one of them pictured. Next to him is a character who refers to the Hulk as "tovarisch." He's colored there as a blond fellow, but looking into it on-line, the general consensus seems to be that he's a nameless captured scientist being held on a Russian ship along with the Hulk, one of the first people who died protecting the green Goliath. 

I thought that might be the same fellow, but the shirt is different. The coloring on this image up top is so wacky, I don't know that a positive I.D. is possible.
