Showcase #34 (1961)

Showcase #34 is a fascinating comic book that showcases the brilliance of scientist Ray Palmer. This book takes us on an epic adventure that begins when Ray discovers a dwarf star fragment. With his scientific expertise, he creates lenses that can shrink things, but there’s a catch. Every object he shrinks eventually explodes after an hour.

One day, Ray and his fiancé Jean Loring, along with a hiking club, get trapped in a cave after an avalanche. Ray puts his knowledge to use and shrinks himself down to size, hoping to make a way out. With an engagement ring for Jean, Ray succeeds in making an opening and manages to return to his original size with ease.

The experience leads Ray to a remarkable realization. While the cave drippings saved him from exploding, he soon finds that something in his own body prevents him from being destroyed when staying at a small size for an extended period of time.
