*Marvel: The second great Galactus and the Silver Surfer epic in Fantastic Four sprawled a little between issues #72 & 77, as featured from the Bute Collection this week. Starting out with a prelude of sorts in #72, there was an intermission in #73 for a slam-bang slug-fest with Spider-Man, Thor and Daredevil. Back on track with the world devourer and his former herald with #74, from where the epic reaches a resounding climax with the Psycho-Man up to #77. Stan & Jack at their most cosmic, with several outstanding covers.
