I can remember it vaguely but can't remember specifics -- from the mid-1980s, a science-fiction graphic novel, published in a collection. It's set on another planet in a sodom/gomorrah type city in which a jet-setter guy, who is into exotic pets, purchases four sets of ant-like creatures in four different colours. They are really sophisticated and start off worshipping him, but then he mistreats them and they turn evil. They also grow to the size of environment they're in, so of course they get out of their cage, become man-sized and consume his whole house.
Sorry for the obscure reference. Does this ring any bells with anyone? It was a fantastic story.
