Description

"This World Enslaved!" by Stan Lee. Cover date June 1972. Letterer John Costanza is credited as Jon Costa.

Story summary: Mister Fantastic has hijacked Galactus's spaceship and threatened to destroy it and strand him on the Earth unless he leaves. Galactus warns that if stranded, he would kill the FF and the rest of the planet. His demand is surrender the Surfer, who has already promised to follow him anywhere in the universe.

Reed outsmarts Galactus by programming his ship to take him to the Negative Zone, which isn't in our universe and has abundant worlds for him to devour. However, no one knows what the plan is, including us, until the end, causing all sorts of conflict and drama such as a soldier mortally wounding Reed and the Surfer using his power cosmic to heal him.

Guest stars include a somewhat slimy President Nixon, who is ready to surrender the Surfer to Galactus; General Ross commanding the troops facing Galactus and launching ill-considered attacks; an infant Franklin Reed; and Agatha Harkness, who uses her powers to help Reed reach the President and the people of the world.

The story ends with Reed describing the Surfer's ongoing dilemma as "born for the gods and trapped among men!"

Note: Nixon's appearance is ironic because the publication date coincides with the Watergate burglary that led to his resignation.
