Origin of Galactus #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Galactus" #1 (1996) delivers a mythic origin for the Devourer of Worlds, set in a dying universe where scientist Galan, desperate to save his people, journeys toward the heart of the collapsing cosmos. Though he survives the cosmic collapse, he awakens eons later as Galactus—transformed, immense, and bound to consume planetary lifeforce to sustain his existence. Written by Stan Lee and Mark Gruenwald, with iconic art by Jack Kirby, John Byrne, and Ron Wilson, and a striking cover by Steve Epting, this landmark issue redefines one of Marvel’s most enduring cosmic entities.
