Son of Storytime the Elder says about TTA #62 (Giant-Man):

Someone actually, a crook actually discovered his true identity. But he didn't get that helmet changing thing.

[Interviewer: Oh, you mean he never really understood how to use the Giant-Man/Ant-Man powers?]

Yeah, he kept over-sizing and down-sizing. He never could get it just right.

[Interviewer: So, what did you think of the battle between Giant-Man and the Wasp? When you saw the cover, did you think this is what was going to happen? Did you think it was going to be someone impersonating Giant-Man?]

No, I thought the Wasp was being the bad guy. Like someone brain-washed her, and then they'd be fighting against each other. Or maybe a robotic Wasp. But it couldn't be the Chameleon, because that doesn't make any sense--the Chameleon can't be wasp-sized.

I actually would have made an excuse for the other guy: "This was really me--it's just that I had a formula and I tested it on myself and now I look really ugly!"

[Interviewer: So what did you think of the plant menace? Was it exciting?]

Not really. It's not exciting unless it has big, sharp teeth.

[Interviewer: A plant?]

Yeah! Like a Venus fly-trap.

[Interviewer: Oh, I see. So the fact that it was just a plant was--]

Kind of lame. Now if it was a giant lion--

[Son the Younger interrupts:] A giant whale! But whales don't have teeth…

[Interviewer, to Son the Elder: What did you think of the way Henry Pym defeated the giant plant?]

Lame. He just pulled the root out. That doesn't seem very dramatic. Oh, you should get Mom here. Mom should see the ant diagram!

[Interviewer: What did you think of the ant diagram?]

That was weird and funny at the same time. It was funny because you wouldn't expect to see a little education in a comic. And the second is that it shouldn't even be there. It's educational--it's the opposite of a comic book!

[Interviewer: You couldn't have an education comic book?]

You could, but it doesn't make sense if you have superheroes, yet you have a diagram.

[Interviewer: So that diagram didn't help show how Henry Pym defeated the plant?]

No. It's just so weird. It just show's how he got there, "Oh, hello queen!" Why did they put a diagram there in the first place?!

[Interviewer: I have no idea. I was actually wondering about that myself.]

Was that part of a commercial or something, so if someone wanted to study ants, they would look at the comic book?

[Interviewer: I don't know.]

Stan Lee's funny.

[Interviewer: Actually I bet that was Carl Burgos' idea.]
