In #51, one of the tales to astonish was told by the Wasp to some fans.  This "The Wonderful Wasp Tells a Tale" series continued, usually as the only backup feature, through #54, after which it became solo Wasp adventures for a couple of issues.  In #60, the Hulk series took over the remainder of the book, but these aren't the giants and hulks we're interested in, are they?
