Best Galactus Story Ever (To Not Be Reprinted)

... it kicks him six ways to Sunday!

Here's a story full of action, surprising twists, and great character-work. Here is the spectacle of Galactus in tatters, never seen before and never to be repeated.

And here is a story that will never be reprinted, for the simple reason that Marvel doesn't own the rights to Rom. (Mattel does.) I understand that this is one of the reasons why Marvel's current editorial is easing out the licensed characters.

But I kinda wish they'd just buy the rights to Rom outright. I mean, come on, it's not like Mattel is doing anything with it. And Rom does have a pretty solid fan-base that would eat up reprint volumes with a spoon.

And, less importantly from a commercial standpoint but more importantly from a fan's, these are great stories.
