Christmas in February
February 8th, 2012




For reasons I’ll share with you at a later date, I decided to treat myself to something nice last week. It came today.

Fantastic Four #49 is a really neat key all by itself–first full appearance of Galactus, second appearance of the Silver Surfer. And the first time the two of them appear on a cover. Plus, I really dig the art; it has such a great rocket-age vibe. But the real pleasure is right above the right hand of Galactus. You’ll have to click to enlarge.

    Wait, which one’s Galacticus?

    That’s his left hand. You should really get around to taking that Journalism 101 class.

    The dread Galactus: The Devourer of Worlds. Yes, it was the nobility of Reed Richards, and indeed the promise of the human race, which reminded the Surfer of his home world of Zenn-La and endeared humanity to the Sky Rider of the Spaceways.

    This is a great issue, very close to being as good as SS #3, Power and the Prize/Duel in the Depths.
