Took me about three minutes to locate THIS.

My paternal grandfather had an expression: "Born too near the brook." As I slip ever deeper into my dotage, I find even TV commercials can sometimes make me well up.

Here we see one of the many manifestations of how much fun it was working at Marvel in that period. Shooter, when I took on the FF, challenged me to "restore Galactus". So I spent a couple of years doing so. Claremont did not approve of how I handled it and, without permission from the FF Editorial office, had Lilandra confront and threaten Reed and Sue in their own bedroom.

When I saw it (after publication, of course) I was livid. I called Shooter--Mr. "Everything Must Be Approved By The Editors" himself—and demanded some kind of published retraction in the books. He said "respond to it in your story!"

Which I did, and the story turned out pretty good, but to this day I remain frustrated that I was FORCED to do it. (Somewhat ironically, much as Chris was forced to do the Death of Phoenix.)

Which kinda missed the whole point of Galactus.
