I’ve already posted about the origin of GALACTUS, and have also dropped some Comics clue on other appearances of the devourer — none of that compares to the very first appearance of GALACTUS in Fantastic Four #48.

There is alot going down in this story, the Inhumans defeating Maximus the Magnificent (a.k.a. Maximus the Mad), the Watcher is also on tap — doing his best to interfere with the pending doom, the first appearance of Silver Surfer, and the usual FF family emo:

Susan Storm:

“..well, i’ve no intention of being completely ignored while he juggles those test tubes of his for the rest of the night..”

Reed Richards:

“..for the love of pete, girl! Is that what you disturbed me for?”

“..hey Johnny — how come all females is so..”

Johnny Storm:

“..even without my flame, nobody man-handles the Torch!”

I apologize for the semi-brief format of this ABSOLUTE GALACTUS post. This issue of FF #48 is a pretty expensive book in my collection and I didn’t want to get down with scanning it too much! I’ll be sure to cover Fantastic Four #49 in the near future. Until then. Bahlactus has spoken.
