Writers: Stan Lee and Larry Lieber
Artist: Don Heck
"Prisoner of the Slave World"
This issue features the first non-Jack Kirby artwork in this pre-Avengers read through. As a result, I found myself even less connected to this story than I had the previous issues.
Here we go.
Our story begins with Hank visiting a fellow scientist. Hank discovers that the scientist is missing. The next day, a strange window washer pays our hero a visit. Hank turns his back and the window washer drenches him with a bucket of paralyzing liquid. He is whisked away to another dimension where he finds the other missing scientists. Apparently an alien named Kulla has been coercing the scientists into building a death ray.
Pym refuses to go along with this and he is locked up away from the rest, which is exactly what he wanted. Once alone, he changes into his ant-man garb and shrinks. However, he didn't count on one thing: alien insects which don't obey his command! This doesn't stop our hero for long, though. He soon learns how to control the alien insects, as well.
With the help of the insects and eventually the help of the captured scientists, Pym defeats the aliens and they all return home to planet Earth.
Next issue: more Don Heck and an interesting villain!
