History:
(Tales to Astonish I#41/1) - A tyrannical warlord named Kulla sought to rule all of
Slaveworld; but the peace-lovers of his world sought to defeat him, so
they surrounded his fortress, with the intention of starving him out. In
order to defeat those rebelling against him, Kulla employed a human
ally, whom he equipped with Dimension Transporter Helmets, to abduct
scientists from Earth to Slaveworld; the scientists were then forced to
build an Electro-Death Ray, which Kulla planned to use as a weapon to
defeat the rebels. However, one of the captured scientists was Dr. Henry
Pym, who was secretly Ant-Man, and the tiny hero led the defeat of Kulla
and his warriors at the hands of the rebels -- Kulla himself was killed
by the native insects that triggered the Electro-Death Ray under the
direction of Ant-Man.
Comments: Created by Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, and Don Heck.
The true name of the Slaveworld dimension was not mentioned in this 10-page story--Prisoner of the Slave World!--but the name "Slaveworld" was given in the OHotMU Deluxe Edition Appendix to Dimensions. Slaveworld's real name of Dehnock was revealed in Kulla's profile in OHotMU A-Z Hardcover#6.
...and coincidentally, "Dehnock" is an anagram for "Don Heck," the artist of the story. -- Ron Fredricks

The only depicted form of animal life on Slaveworld, they inhabited the fortress of the tyrant Kulla. Slightly larger than the ants of Earth, they had six limbs, two pincers and antennae, and were covered with numerous sharp spines. They possessed a hive-like mentality, and communicated in a similar fashion to terrestrial insects, but they communicated on a slightly different frequency. When Ant-Man (Henry Pym) first encountered them after escaping from Kulla's dungeon, the insects acted aggressively and attacked him; but the tiny hero altered the frequency of his cybernetic helmet and found he could control them as easily as the ants of Earth. The insects became Ant-Man's allies at bringing about the downfall of Kulla, and at his mental command, the tiny creatures activated an Electro-Death Ray, which killed the warlord. --Tales to Astonish I#41/1 |
