Walter tries out his new Box body.

The writer Bill Mantlo is credited for ‘creative kibbitzing.’ It is probable that Mantlo, at the time writer of Incredible Hulk series, slightly contributed to the writing of the script, for the future of the Box/Langkowski connection (see Alpha Flight #28, November 1985).
