William, I don't think you have to be a purist not to "get" that one!  Ha!

That "tech" Galactus is too busy and awkward for me taste.

Moebius did a very fine Galactus in his Surfer mini...not on model...but very fine.

This is the cover image to The Jack Kirby Collector issue 26 featuring a re-colored image of Galactus from the splash page of an old issue of Thor.  Lots of interesting writings about The Big G in this magazine!

William,

If its ever been asked, I don't remember it; and, if it was, it was probably a very long time ago:  could you tell us why Galactus is your most favoritest character?

Thanks!
Marc

Sometimes I pretend I am Galactus. It's just a matter of scale. My sofa is gargantuan and biscuits are planets.

Actually does Galactus sleep? Does he have a bed?

Marc,

I have two answers for that.

First, the visual appeal of Galactus. I can't think of any other character design that is, at the same time both simple and complex.

Second, this: "Galactus is not Evil! He is above Good or Evil! He does what he must...For He Is GALACTUS!"

Try to imagine as a kid, wrapping your mind around that! When i did, thats when I knew this was MY character.

Sadly, outside of Lee,Kirby and Byrne, very few writers nor artist get it.IMHO.

Also IMHO, and tempting an argument with our host, I think He has done the best work with Galactus.

William,

I share your view of JB's Galactus stories.  Those are the ones that most "capture" my imagination.
