Jeffrey Brown spoke with Marvel.com about the inspiration behind his upcoming Hulk Teach! graphic novel.

"Marvel Comics were a big part of my childhood, so when Scholastic asked if I'd be interested in doing a middle grade series with Marvel super heroes, I immediately knew I wanted to—I just didn't know which characters I wanted to write about," confessed Brown. 

"Doing talks at schools gave me the inspiration I needed. I was watching teachers navigate their days with more patience than I have and realized it would be really funny to see Bruce Banner try to teach middle school without getting frustrated and turning into the Hulk. I was also excited for the chance to write a version of Hulk I had in mind, somewhere between smart Hulk and dumb Hulk – and of course he's fun to draw, so it all fit together nicely!"
