The Shrinking Man

Based on Richard Matheson’s classic novel, this 2015 IDW miniseries follows a man who, after exposure to a mysterious radioactive cloud, begins to physically shrink—and with his diminishing size comes a terrifying new perspective on the world around him. Writer Ted Adams and artist Mark Torres adapt Matheson’s own screenplay (co-credited here) into a taut, claustrophobic four-issue thriller that renders the mundane as menacing. It matters as a faithful, visually inventive take on a foundational work of science fiction and body horror.
