☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Oh, Wasp, Where Is Thy Sting?", the Wasp finds herself in a high-stakes chase as the Leader steals the absorbatron and takes the Hulk hostage, setting off a chain of tense confrontations. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated with dynamic energy by Jack Kirby, this 1965 issue delivers a gripping tale of betrayal and desperation, with Kirby’s bold pencils and Frank Giacoia’s sharp inks bringing the cover to life.
When Giant-Man must shrink again to save the Wasp from the Human Top, he faces a difficult choice that puts his body — and his future — on the line. Meanwhile, Hank quietly shares with Jan that he may be ready to step back from the life of heroism.
Trapped in the Lair of the Leader! sees the Hulk cornered by the cunning Humanoids, who have seized both the absorbatron and the jade giant himself. With the machine’s power within reach, the Leader’s plan hinges on breaking the Hulk’s will—but the jade giant’s rage may prove too fierce to contain.
