In issue #5 of Mary Marvel, Mary Marvel ends up in a "land of the giants". All issues of Mary Marvel from the 1940's and the 1950's used to be posted on the Digital Comic Museum, because they were believed to be in the public domain. But they got a "cease and desist" from Warner Brothers, telling them that all of those issues of Mary Marvel are still under copyright protection. So they got taken down.

Right now you can buy a reprint of this issue from Amazon for $17.14 (plus tax). But I suppose WB will do away with that too...

(I bet that talon would love the scene in which the villain picks up the train that he just shrunk, then flicks the tiny WordGirl off it with one finger.)

So a few things:

-(squint, not actual SW) Absolute Wonder Woman 1: WW casts a spell on her already giant sword to make it building-size to one-shot a kaiju. It's so big her entire body can't wrap around even half of the handle - it looks like a butter knife being held by an ant.

-Al Ewing Guardians, Rocket #6: Rocket Raccoon works with the group TechNet to stage a heist. One of the group is China Doll who can shrink things (she actually did it to the smoking-hot Meggan from Excalibur, but only started the process before she was unfortunately interrupted). Around the half-way mark, Rocket opens a brief case to reveal CD shrunk the entire group, including herself and the mind-controller Scatterbrain - even micro, she can use her powers with just a touch.

-Action Comics 1065: Supergirl and Superboy are shrunk inside Braniac's lair and have to team up with Parasite and Livewire - at one point, the two ride on the others' shoulders.

-Supergirl 2025: Per GTSCity, issue 8 teases "The Incredible Shrinking Lesla" (a citizen of Kandor) and that she has a "little secret" that could lead to disaster. Plus, #11 has a confirmed variant cover:

I have a "homemade" Super 7 DVD set. But I only got to watch one "Superstretch & Microwoman" segment (and one "Web Woman" segment with SW content) before it got taken away from me and put in the storage facility. The film prints are badly faded, even though Filmation sprung for Technicolor. And the original negatives probably got destroyed when Hallmark owned (most of) the Filmation library. This is what it could look like (screencap only):
