Origin of Galactus

Reprinted stories of Galactus's origin from various issues

Part of this issue is a retelling of Thor #169 when Galan becomes Galactus as his Universe is being destroyed by a 'plague'

Expanding on the event from Thor #169, the Sentience of the Universe speaks to Galan and absorbs him to be reborn later as Galactus

In Thor #5 (2020), the Black Winter claims to have spared Galan and created Galactus leading readers to believe the Sentience of the Universe, speaking but unseen, is also the Black Winter

Partial reprint of Fantastic Four #49, Thor #160, Thor #162 and Thor #167
