Synopsis for “On the Trail of the Human Top!”

Our story begins with Giant-Man and the Wasp showing the Giant-Man fan club footage of their battle against the Human Top (From their first encounter with him in Tales to Astonish #50 & 51.) After showing the film, the Wasp muses that it would be frightening if the Top ever escaped from jail.

Coincidentally, at that moment, the Human Top has perfected a new trick: spinning so fast that he’s invisible to the naked eye. He uses this ability to escape from his jail cell and soon robs a bank, alerting Giant-Man and the Wasp of his escape. Rushing to the scene of the crime, Giant-Man and Wasp realize that they are too late to capture the Top.

The two heroes vow to defeat the Top and return to their lab to begin tracking down the foe, little realizing that their target has spotted them and uses his super speed to track them back to their home. Attacking them by surprise, the Human Top manages to snatch Giant-Man’s belt of size capsules and uses one of the growth capsules to grow in size. He easily dispatches Giant-Man, and then captures the Wasp in a jar before making his escape.

Using his ants to escape from a locked closet, Giant-Man regains is discarded capsule belt and chases after his foe. He tracks down his enemy and frees the Wasp. During the battle, Giant-Man uses his mastery of changing size, the Wasp, and the aid nearby ants to defeat the Top, who is not used to fighting at a giant size. Tricking him into smashing through an weakened roof top, they make the Top take a reducing capsule to return to regular size. The Human Top quickly surrenders afterwards.

The next day, Giant-Man and Wasp tell the story to their fan club and read over the newspaper story about the Top’s defeat.
