“The Return of the Vulture”

In "The Return of the Vulture," Ant-Man faces a bizarre new threat when a radiation-exposed red beetle gains a human mind and attempts to conquer the world using an army of insects—only to be outmaneuvered by Ant-Man and his loyal ant allies. A standout 1966 tale from Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, illustrated with dynamic energy by Jack Kirby and inked by Dick Ayers, this issue blends sci-fi whimsy with classic Marvel action. The cover, a striking collaboration by Steve Ditko and Jack Kirby with inks by Ditko and Ayers, captures the beetle’s menacing rise in vivid detail.
