11" x 17" illustration of Galactus standing in the center of his "command center" surrounded by machinery and inspecting some large high-tech piece of equipment with spherical elements. The details are:- please draw the apparatus similar to the style you used in The Last Galactus Story with lots of detail- give the image a sense of depth with some foreground apparatus, the figure of Galactus in the center, and background monitors- please draw Ego, the Living Planet (with energy eyes, small moons, etc.) on a monitor in the background

Kinda has a Wally Wood vibe on the shading.

This is a good a place to mention this. My 12 yr old son recently finished reading your F.F. run and he loved it. Like me he was sad when it ended and wanted more only it happened to him in a month and it took me years. I've tried to get him into the Lee Kirby run but he just can't get into it yet. I wonder if I should've introduced it first. I didn't like Kirby as a kid so maybe he'll grow into it. Anyway he writes and draws his own comics and your work has really inspired him I can see it.

Cool machinery. I like the way Galactus seems enveloped by the space and stars. Kind of eerie to be peeking in on Galactus' cold work.

Very cool! I noticed the trail coming behind Ego and the look the living planet has that makes it seem like he's spotted Galactus' ship and is heading full tilt towards it. Your story in FF with Ego is one of my favorites JB. I had never heard of Ego before that and it was just so cool to see the team tackle a living planet, like something out of a 50's sci-fi movie :)

Ego first appeared in THOR 132, in the midst of a big, cosmic story on a scale only Kirby could deliver. The first image of Ego was one of Jack's inimitable photo montages. Funny thing was, a friend of mine, a fellow Marvel staffer, was convinced Jack had "put one over" on Stan, by "casting" Mr. Lee as the Living Planet.Hmm. Looked to me like Jack tinkering with a classic bust of Aristole!

To what do we owe the current flood of commissions? Maybe the universe should end every week?
