“The Battle of Four Armies!”

In "The Battle of Four Armies!", the arrival of Galactus' home ship sends shockwaves through the battleground as every faction scrambles to survive. With Torch linking with the Zsaji, the Wrecking Crew targeting Molecule Man and Volcana, and the Enchantress attempting to sway Doom, tensions explode—especially when Mr. Fantastic and Magneto both try to appeal to Galactus and face swift retribution. Amid the chaos, the X-Men arrive to turn the tide, but not before Colossus is gravely injured and reaches out to the healer Zsaji. Meanwhile, Dr. Doom slips aboard Galactus' ship, beginning his own dangerous mission. Written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by Bob Layton, with inks by John Beatty, colors by Christie Scheele, and letters by Joe Rosen, this 1985 UK release captures the escalating stakes in a 0.27 GBP comic.
