1st Ant-Man crossover; Kirby Doom cvr, Wasp cameo


If you're into shrinking, then this is the comic book for you! Featuring microscopic versions of the Fantastic Four, Dr. Doom, a world named Sub-Atomica, and of course, Ant-Man, in his first crossover appearance in the pages of FF, this is one heck of a miniature masterpiece. In short, the FF keeps getting shrunk down by Dr. Doom, whom they eventually encounter causing havoc in a tiny kingdom. After being captured, they're saved by Ant-Man. Many of the elements of the sub-atomic universe explored in Ant-Man and Ant-Man and the Wasp are important factors in this issue.



Artists Information

Jack Kirby is called 'The King of Comics' for a reason, during his career that spanned six decades he gave us many of the most iconic characters the medium would ever see. From his introduction of Captain America at the height of World War II it was clear he wasn't your ordinary comics artist. But it was his creative explosion at Marvel Comics in the 1960's that cemented his legacy, over a short period of time Kirby would give us The Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Hulk, The X-Men, Thor, Ant-Man and Nick Fury just to name a few. Kirby would then go to DC and create his Fourth World, introducing Darkseid, Mister Miracle, The New Gods and a host of cosmic supporting players. Long live The King.

Richard "Dick" Ayers was an American comic book artist and cartoonist best known for his work as one of the main inkers during the late-1950's and 1960's Silver Age of Comics, including some of the earliest issues of Marvel Comics' including Jack Kirby's The Fantastic Four.

Fury and his Howling Commandos, drawing it for a 10-year run, and he co-created Magazine Enterprises' 1950s Western-horror character the Ghost Rider, a version of which he would draw for Marvel in the 1960s.
