Description

Devourer of planets Galactus sees Earth on the menu, in this 4/66 Marvel Comics Fantastic Four #49 issue. This Silver Age key is counted as the first full appearance of Galactus, after a last-page cameo in FF #48, which introduced his herald, the Silver Surfer. These powerful alien beings are the focus of the captivating front cover, created by the remarkable Jack Kirby. Both Galactus and the Silver Surfer are celebrating their 60th birthdays this year, testifying to their enduring and ongoing appeal. Their recent big screen romp in the 2025 MCU epic The Fantastic Four: First Steps, has fed the desire for original source material comic books. This pleasing example satisfies the hunger for a decent example of this famous key issue, with a CGC grade of 4.0, Off-White Pages. Label notes are "Stan Lee story, Jack Kirby and Joe Sinnott cover and art. 1st full appearance of Galactus. 2nd appearance of the Silver Surfer. 1st Silver Surfer and Galactus cover.".
