Issue Details

Synopsis

                    The Micronauts fights a strange human and his army of insect.      Complete summary (with Spoilers) After the death of his lover jasmine, Bug had leaved his friends and had sunk in the giant vegetation of Earth (since the Micronauts are a few inches tall.) The insectoid hero travels through grass, thick like a jungle for him, and he discovers a colossal farm with some elephant-size chicken.  Watching this, he is surprised by a cow big like a building. Scared of being eaten, he jumps on the back of a chicken who run for some meters. Bug jumps again on a pig’s back before crashing in a puddle, disgusted by the contact of water.

Then he uses his spray on the spacecraft but the Micronauts's vessel is hermetic. Perseverant, he catches a pitch-fork and damages the spacecraft. Acroyear and Arcturus Rann put on their space-gliders and fly out to defend themselves but it is too late: their enemy shots the Endeavor with a shotgun.  Then the human catches the commander and tells him about his life: His name is John. He is fascinated by insects since his...
