Big Sahib is a short guy, so to get bigger he does not choose to buy platform shoes or heel lifts, he just invents a formula to shrink everyone else. Maybe instead of creating a shrink juice he could have worked on a formula to make himself taller?
Jack Kamen drew this story, or at least a substantial part of it, at the Iger Studio. Grand Comics Database credits artist Edmund Good, but I don’t believe it’s by Good, who did draw some Dagar stories, but Kamen. I love Kamen’s action scenes and scantily clad women in this sexy story from Fox Features, the line of exploitation comics.
This short story is from Dagar Desert Hawk #16 (1948).

Of course, it's absurd that a force of relatively intelligent creatures who would be a real threat to an armed man on horseback would not also have been a threat to an anteater or to Li'l Sahib.
The Iger Studio loved to kill beautiful female characters brutally. I'm inclined to imagine an abiding hatred born from rejection.
Daniel, I don't know if you are aware the main writer for Iger's books was Ruth Ann Roche, one of the unsung females in comics at the time. She wrote what would sell, I surmise, and who knows, maybe she hated women.
Or maybe she hated competition.
