Eu suspeito que você esteja pensando em "Lost in the Microcosm", uma história em Weird Science # 12 da EC Comics (datada de maio-junho de 1950), que foi uma adaptação de "<<> de Henry Hasse a href="http://johnnypez9.blogspot.com/2010/06/he-who-shrank-by-henry-hasse-part-1.html"> ele que encolheu "(Wikipedia link ).
A world-celebrated professor reveals to his assistant, the tale's narrator, that he has discovered that the visible universe at the largest scales corresponds to the microscopic universe at the smallest observed scales, the relations between universe's planets suns, and star cluster being identical to the relations of electrons, atomic nuclei, molecules. Rather than explore the universe at their own scale, the professor intends to explore the worlds endlessly nested within matter itself, which he argues by induction, must go on to ever smaller levels, and claims to have invented a substance, that once-applied will cause an individual to perpetually shrink. His assistant thinks him insane, but the professor, surprising the assistant, injects him with the substance, temporarily paralyzing the assistant and dooming him to eternally shrink ever smaller, through successively smaller worlds, each a subatomic particle of the previous one. (The injected substance, "Shrinx", has engineered secondary properties such as oxygenating the blood and protecting against heat loss in space.) The professor will monitor the assistant's fate through a device that receives his sense of sight and sound, and intends to eventually follow suit and set himself shrinking as well, although they would never meet again due to the infinitesimal chance of tracing the same path through the subatomic worlds.
Aqui está uma versão em quadrinhos em movimento (ele começa a encolher na cadeira em torno da marca de 16 minutos):
NOTA: Weird Science # 12 foi na verdade a primeira edição de Weird Science ; assumiu a numeração de outra história em quadrinhos. Isso tem a ver com regulamentos postais no momento; e, devido a problemas com esses regulamentos, eles mudaram a numeração para # 5 a partir da quinta edição (então, # 12 - 15, depois # 5 - 22). Então, esta é a primeira Weird Science # 12.
