Ant-Man / Giant-Man Epic Collection #2
In "The Beasts of Berlin!", Ant-Man remains trapped at tiny size, returning to his lab only to reunite with Jan and uncover the reason he can't grow back—just as Whirlwind strikes, attempting to kidnap her. When the attack fails, Jan takes the experimental antidote herself, becoming Ant-Size too, and the two must work together to develop a cure while Whirlwind returns with a stolen deoxygenating gun and sets their home ablaze. With the world believing them dead, they flee the wreckage, still shrunken and desperate to survive. Written by Mike Friedrich and illustrated by Herb Trimpe, with inks by Mike Trimpe and letters by Sam Rosen, the cover by Bob Layton captures the chaos of the moment.
