My two favorite versions of the animated Incredible Hulk had Rick in long hair and cowboy attire. The 80s one also gave him a hat.
There hasn’t been a single version of The Incredible Hulk in live-action that has included Rick Jones even when he was an important character in the comic at the time it was produced. Rick has also been a Bucky, did the “switch realities” thing with both Quasar and Captain Mar-Vell, been a help to the Avengers, formed the Teen Brigade to help the Hulk, and been the only friend both identities have had without complications beyond a mild-mannered scientist with mental trauma turning into a rage machine or a gray mobster. The cartoons have rarely not used him however. This is another point in favor of the cartoons.
I’d love to know what happened with the lineart in panel 3. I tried to fix Hulk’s at least but Rick’s too light as well.
