Where Monsters Dwell #34
In "The Man in the Beehive!", Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, Jack Kirby, and Dick Ayers deliver a delightfully bizarre tale from 1975, where an eccentric beekeeper claims to be a mutant with extraordinary abilities. When a thief stumbles into his strange world, the man shrinks his intruder and unleashes a swarm of bees that tower over him—leaving the thief questioning whether the whole ordeal was real or just a hallucination. Sal Buscema’s cover captures the story’s eerie, otherworldly tone with a striking image of the beehive’s mysterious keeper.
