Yes, from Carl Barks' "Billions in the Hole."
Barks was hardly the only comics creator to run that basic plot idea
through it's paces. It's one of the hoariest fallback plot cliches
around - you weren't a proper Silver Age DC character unless you'd been
shrunk and forced to battle "giant" insects at least once.
