In "The Subhuman Giants!", Spider-Man faces a terrifying new threat when a stolen school computer is awakened into a sentient, rampaging entity known as "The Living Brain." Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Steve Ditko—both inks and pencils—this 1971 classic from Alan Class delivers a tense, inventive sci-fi clash. The cover by Ogden Whitney captures the story's eerie, otherworldly tension in bold, striking detail.
