About the series
In the late 1990s, Marvel explored the cosmic mythology of its ultimate force of nature with Galactus the Devourer, a six-issue series written by Louise Simonson. Featuring the combined artistic talents of John Buscema and Jon J. Muth, the story delves into the origins and burden of Galactus—tying his past as the mortal Galan to his present as the world-eater—while placing Norrin Radd, the Silver Surfer, and even Peter Parker's Spider-Man in the path of a universe-altering crisis. This series stands as a thoughtful, character-driven examination of one of Marvel's most iconic cosmic entities, balancing epic scale with intimate consequence.
