Overview:
Tales to Astonish #49, published in November 1963, is a comic book issue written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with artwork by Don Heck. In this issue, Ant-Man and the Wasp encounter the Living Eraser, a bizarre villain from another dimension who has the ability to erase objects and people from existence with a mere touch.
Plot Summary:
The story begins with Henry Pym, also known as Ant-Man, working on a new scientific experiment when suddenly, a series of mysterious disappearances occur in the city. People and objects are vanishing without a trace, leaving the authorities baffled. Ant-Man and the Wasp investigate and soon discover that these disappearances are the work of a strange being called the Living Eraser.
The Living Eraser hails from Dimension Z, a parallel universe where advanced technology has given its inhabitants the ability to manipulate the fabric of reality. The Eraser’s power allows him to “erase” anything he touches, sending it to his home dimension. His mission is to capture Earth’s greatest scientific minds, including Pym, and bring them back to Dimension Z to advance his world's technology.
Ant-Man and the Wasp track down the Living Eraser, but their initial encounter with the villain proves challenging. The Eraser’s ability to make people disappear with a touch makes him a formidable opponent. During the battle, Ant-Man is nearly erased, but manages to evade the Eraser’s grasp just in time.
Realizing that they must act quickly before more people are erased, Ant-Man and the Wasp devise a plan to confront the Living Eraser directly. Using their size-changing abilities, they infiltrate the Eraser’s lair and discover a portal to Dimension Z. The heroes leap through the portal, arriving in the alien dimension where they face the Eraser on his home turf.
In Dimension Z, Ant-Man and the Wasp engage in a final showdown with the Living Eraser. With the help of the local rebels who oppose the Eraser’s regime, they manage to destroy the device that powers his erasing ability. The Living Eraser is defeated, and Ant-Man and the Wasp return to Earth, closing the portal behind them to prevent any further invasions.
The issue ends with the captured scientists being freed and returned to their rightful place on Earth, while Ant-Man and the Wasp reflect on their adventure in another dimension and the strange threats that exist beyond their world.
