With the size-changing capsules in play, the Porcupine makes a desperate move that leaves Giant-Man scrambling—only to vanish into nothingness, leaving the outcome uncertain. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by Dick Ayers, this 1964 tale features a cover by Jack Kirby and Sol Brodsky.
