Great Kirby-influenced illustration of the Marvel cosmic entity known as Galactus. A gigantic entity that devours planets for its own sustenance, Galactus is the oldest non-abstract entity in the Marvel universe, in some sense the physical embodiment of the cosmos, and has a functional role in the upkeep of the Marvel Universe's continuity. He sits on a throne here as his herald, the powerful Silver Surfer, approaches.
