In "The Ghost That Trembled!", Doctor Decker's plane crash in Africa leads to an unlikely bond with a small monkey named Konga and a tribe of towering natives who owe their size to a mysterious plant serum.

Written by Joe Gill and illustrated with eerie precision by Steve Ditko, this classic tale of science gone awry features a haunting cover by Lou Wahl, capturing the story's eerie, otherworldly tension.
