In Galactus the Devourer #1 (1999), writer Louise Simonson and artist Jon J. Muth deliver a striking new chapter in the cosmic saga, spotlighting the Silver Surfer as he navigates personal connections amid galactic threats. When Galactus consumes another world, the aftermath brings unexpected drama: Alicia Master’s art show becomes a battleground when the Mole Man stirs old tensions with the Thing, and Alicia unexpectedly awakens to her cosmic power. As the Surfer defends New York from a deadly meteor—revealing a dying alien’s warning of an imminent arrival—this issue blends intimate character moments with high-stakes spectacle. Cover by Jon J. Muth captures the moment with haunting precision.

In "Hunger!", the Silver Surfer aids Alicia Master as she prepares for an art show, their quiet moment interrupted when the Mole Man stirs trouble by provoking old tensions with her former flame, the Thing. As chaos erupts and Alicia unexpectedly dons her cosmic armor, the heroes must scramble to stop a theft at a waste treatment plant—only for a massive meteor to threaten New York, forcing the Surfer into a desperate sacrifice. When the meteor reveals a dying alien whispering, "He's coming," the universe holds its breath.
