Unusual Tales - The World Awaits

"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.

"The World Awaits" is a 5-page story from Charlton's OUT OF THIS WORLD #12 [1959], featuring a scientist who discovers an alarming secret in the world of mutant ants. Amusing little story, especially the panel of the mutant ant reading a book.
