Fantastic Four 48 CGC 6.0 Off-White to White pages Slight C-1 Restored Grade: small amount of color touch on cover, 1st Silver Surfer & Galactus appearances, Rare U.K. Edition. Published in March 1966. This is the start of the 3 issue saga “The Coming of Galactus”, possibly the greatest comic book story ever told. The writer Stan Lee RIP told the artist Jack Kirby RIP that he wanted the Fantastic Four to battle “God” (Galactus). Jack then took it upon himself to create and draw... the Silver Surfer onto the pages. Stan asked him who is this character? Jack explained a being as powerful as Galactus, who devours the energy from entire planets, should have a herald (Silver Surfer) that goes forward and preps the planets for Galactus’ consumption. Stan decided that it was a genius decision and comic book history was made! Feel free to ask me any questions. Shipped with USPS 2-3 day Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate Box.
