"Galactus The Devourer" Issue 1 pg 37 -Jon J. Muth / Bill Sienkiewicz (1999)

So being a fan of these two artists I simply couldn't resist trying to get a piece from this issue as it is such a unique pairing of artists! Both classically trained artists and yet capable of many different styles and mediums.

This classic 6 panel page layout depicts an alien crash landing on Earth after fleeing their home planet just destroyed by Galactus with a warning...Galactus is coming to Earth! The page has The Thing carrying out the alien, Iron Man and Thor in backgrounds and Alicia Master's holding Silver Surfer with two Pieta moments which I always love when used in comics.

I got two pages from this series to celebrate what I see as such a unique pairing of two artists I admire and from a seriEs that hits some cool places/characters/lore. I'm proud to care for them.

If I'm being entirely honest with myself though, while I love the coming together of these two wonderful artists, I don't instinctually feel like their art in this issue fully lives up to what could have been. It does have it's charms and it might just be that what I imagine in my head when I combine both these artists skills is just too beautiful...like what if they decided to paint this entire 6 issue mini series together? I can almost picture it....

Anywho BEHOLD!!! Muth Sienkiewicz.....in Galactus The Devourer!+
