Wow--maybe it's the line weights, or Galactus's face and outstretched hand, but my first reaction was that this looks almost like Walt Simonson drew it!

======

Same here. Jack Kirby + John Byrne = Walt Simonson?

edit: This could be expressed in an even more complicated way if we figure John Byrne = Jack Kirby + Neal Adams + Steve Ditko.

I second Glenn's reaction: wow!

Great idea from the commission-er, great interpretation from JB.
(And I get a bit of a BWS vibe from some of the hatching on this.)

And thanks Jason for posting the original. I am not as up on those covers as
I should be.

Wow!

JB's Galactus seems less menacing than Kirby's. More impassive, god-like.
