In "The Gingerbread Man," timid Abner Bakerman's ambitious baking experiment takes a bizarre turn when radiated flour brings his giant gingerbread creation to life. Written by Mark Evanier and brought to life with expressive art by Paul Norris, this 1978 Marvel tale blends whimsy and mild menace in a story that’s as sweet as it is strange. The cover, a striking illustration by Alex Toth, captures the moment with a perfect mix of charm and unease.
