Galactus’ Shadow – Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer

Tim Story's Fantastic Four sequel, Rise of the Silver Surfer, has its fair share of problems, but is often chastised for one thing: its depiction of cosmic Marvel villain Galactus. Rather than faithfully adapt Galactus as a gigantic Celestial being with a purple outfit and horned helmet, Story took a more conservative route and made the villain a giant cloud. Needless to say, fans were disappointed. For a brief moment, however, Galactus does appear in his "true" form. Or, rather, his shadow does, as it shows up on the side of Saturn during the villain's journey to Earth.
