Where it came from
The Coming of Galactus, card number 212 from the 1990 Marvel Super Heroes series produced by Impel, commemorates one of the most significant arcs in the Fantastic Four comic series. Originally appearing in 1966, the storyline written by Stan Lee and illustrated by Jack Kirby introduced the cosmic entity Galactus and his herald, the Silver Surfer, permanently altering the scope of the Marvel Universe by shifting the narrative scale toward cosmic and metaphysical threats.
The 1990 Impel set served as a landmark release for Marvel, being one of the first major trading card sets to categorize and catalog the publisher's extensive history. The design team utilized iconic panel artwork from original comics to provide a retrospective look at key events. This particular card was highly regarded by collectors for its dramatic imagery, which captures the terrifying arrival of the world-eater, and it remains a staple piece for those documenting the transition of comic book ephemera into the formal trading card market of the early nineties.
