“Of Lizards, Great and Small”

In "Of Lizards, Great and Small," Godzilla faces a bizarre new challenge when S.H.I.E.L.D. devises a plan to shrink the giant monster down to a manageable size. With help from a reluctant Gabe and a visit to Hank Pym, the team deploys shrinking gas in a bold attempt to contain the beast—only to find themselves in uncharted territory when Godzilla is reduced to the size of a small dog and brought to New York City for study. Written by Doug Moench and illustrated by Herb Trimpe, with Dan Green on inks and Ben Sean handling colors, the cover by Herb Trimpe and Bob Layton captures the scale shift with striking precision.

While discussing Godzilla onboard the Behemoth, Dugan gets the idea to shrink Godzilla to a more manageable size. He tells Gabe to go meet with Hank Pym (aka Yellowjacket) to ask him for some of his shrinking gas. When the gas is procured, S.H.I.E.L.D. approaches a sleeping Godzilla and blast him with the gas shrinking him down to the size of a small dog. He is then captured and taken to New York City for study.
