In "¡El Hombre en el Hormiguero!", Henry Pym experiments with a serum that shrinks him to the size of an insect, leading to a frantic escape through his own garden. Trapped and overwhelmed by a swarm of ants, he takes refuge in a termite mound—only to find unexpected help from a single friendly ant. With art by Jack Kirby and inks by Dick Ayers, this 1961 adventure blends scientific curiosity with whimsical peril, all captured in a cover by Kirby and Ayers that perfectly mirrors the story’s playful yet tense tone.
