Marvel Feature #7

The cover by Gil Kane and Joe Sinnott wastes no time setting the stakes: a towering green villain — the Para-Man — looms over a lab setting, one clawed hand clutching a sealed glass jar with a red-suited Ant-Man trapped inside, straining against the glass walls, while a winged figure recoils in the background. That single image — hero reduced to a specimen — captures everything compelling about size-based storytelling, and the cover's bold promise of "shock follows shock" feels entirely earned. With interior work from writer Mike Friedrich and artist Craig Russell, this January 1973 issue of Marvel Feature is a sharp, imaginative chapter in Ant-Man's solo spotlight run.
