Jack Kirby’s dynamic art brings the colossal insect menace to life, while Bill Everett’s inks lend weight to the escalating chaos—until a clever human tactic involving sugar turns the tide. The cover by Jeff Aclin and Tom Palmer captures the scale of the danger with striking, dramatic flair.
In "Grottu, King of the Insects!", a journalist and an archaeologist uncover a colossal, atomically mutated ant in Africa—intelligent, ambitious, and determined to rule the world through an army of insects. When the giant ant’s plans threaten to overrun humanity, the duo must outwit him using nothing but a simple trick involving sugar and the loyalty of his own forces.
