    Wasp's first appearance! While working for scientist Vernon Van Dyne, Hank Pym meets the young girl who will become his partner in crime fighting...and in life! Janet Van Dyne gains her sting, thanks to a super powered transformation!

    In This issue Henry Pym meets a scientist by the name of Vernon Van Dyne, who just shows up one day to compare scientific notes. He brings along his young daughter Janet. Vernon Van Dyne has a problem though, he made a mistake in one of his experimentswhich leads a criminal from outer space named Kosmos right to him. The two scientists become friends and Henry Pym becomes very interested in Vernon Van Dynes Daughter Janet. Unfortunately when Kosmos catches up to Vernon Van Dyne they fight and Kosmos ends up killing Vernon Van Dyne. At the same time, Hank is wooing Janet Van Dyne back at his place, and what better way to impress a girl than to cover her with Pym particles and have her become a shrinking Superhero by the name of The Wasp. When they find out what happened to Vernon Van Dyne, the two heroes chase after Kosmos and in the end defeat him.

Huntley (who created none other than Super Rabbit[!]) in addition to the return of Jack Kirby on the pencils, once more replacing Don Heck and leaving him to work solely on the inking. Oh, and yeah!
