Big Boss #38

Oct 1978 · Arédit-Artima · 4 FRF
“Un des petits hommes”

"Un des petits hommes" marks a rare and striking entry in Steve Ditko’s career, showcasing his distinctive visual storytelling in a 1978 issue of Big Boss. The story follows a space pilot who lands on a planet teeming with giants, realizing too late that his own size makes him a mere speck in their world—only to find relief in the quiet truth that Earth, for all its scale, remains invisible to such towering beings. The cover by Steve Ditko complements the tale’s intimate sense of perspective, rendered in his signature precise line work.
