There are certain characters who depend upon a degree of awareness on the part of the viewer. Giants definitely fall among these. Consider this famous cover:

Since I decided not to draw a potentially distracting background on this piece, the viewer is expected to recognize that Galactus is a giant, and normal sized heroes are attacking him. New readers, of course, could not be expected to know this, necessarily, and so it then falls to me to make the image as exciting as possible in order to draw their attention without the details of the scene being known.
