He took no joy in eradicating galaxies and distant worlds. He preferred for his herald's to find him an uninhabited planet, but depending on how bad his hunger was, heck, he tried to get his Quizno's munch on at the expense of mother earth as well. One of the best battles I'd ever seen was the FF, Spidey, The Avengers and Dr. Strange fighting Galactus. it took everything they had to save him because he was literally dying. He'd shrunk nearly half the size he had been. I believe this was FF #245 or somewhere around them, drawn and written by John Byrne. But Kirby's Thor was always hot and well drawn also. Too bad we don't read 'em like this anymore. Great piece Bahlactus. I'm still waiting for them to make a Thor flick too.

Kirby had much more to do with <I>Thor</I> than Lee did after a certain point - Stan The Man was too busy running his empire at this issue's publication, for instance - and it's his sort of "Let's see what' I can do next" that I really miss in most modern DC and Marvel books. It seems like, more and more, people are just finding ways to recycle what's already there. That may be why I like <I>GØDLAND</I> so much - yes, it plays the Kirby card a little heavily, but man, talk about creative villains and insane situations.
