In "Le retour fracassant du Fantôme Rouge !", Giant-Man faces a dire fate as radiation poisoning takes its toll, forcing Thing and Spider-Woman to confront the man behind his condition—Atom Smasher, whose shocking connection to the original adds a personal weight to the battle. Written by Tom DeFalco and brought to life by Ron Wilson’s art, Chic Stone’s inks, and George Roussos’s colors, this 1985 issue delivers a tense, emotional showdown with lasting consequences. Jean Frisano’s striking cover captures the intensity of the moment.

In "Le destin de Giant-Man !", Giant-Man faces a dire fate as radiation poisoning takes hold, forcing Thing and Spider-Woman to confront Atom Smasher—the brother of the original—and uncover the truth behind the attack. As Spider-Woman works to reverse Giant-Man’s condition, the effort comes at a cost, leaving her unable to neutralize poison and stripping Giant-Man of his size-shifting power.
