Spidey Super Stories #23

In "Meet the Thing!", Spider-Man finds himself shrunk to the size of a toy, navigating a world made monstrous by ordinary objects—from roaring street cleaners to treacherous sewers—before making a daring escape on the Green Goblin’s glider. Written by Kolfax Mingo and illustrated by Winslow Mortimer, with inks by Mike Esposito and letters by Ray Holloway, this 1977 adventure captures the whimsy and peril of a superhero at a fraction of his usual size. The cover, penciled and inked by John Romita, perfectly captures the issue’s playful yet tense tone.
