Origin of Galactus

In 1996, Marvel revisited the cosmic dawn with Origin of Galactus, a single-issue prestige comic that finally fleshed out the backstory of the world-eater first glimpsed in Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's Fantastic Four. Written by Mark Gruenwald with art by John Byrne and Ron Wilson, this issue bridges the gap between Kirby's classic 1960s saga and the modern Marvel Universe, showing the transformation of the mortal Galan into the herald-devouring force of nature. It's a compact, essential chapter for anyone curious about the birth of a cosmic legend, told by creators deeply steeped in Marvel's history.
