Amusing Moment in the Annals of Comics
One of the comics I enjoyed reading was the What If series, which told stories of alternate storylines and how the Marvel Universe would have differed if characters had made different decisions.
Several months ago, Metrokitty posted about an interesting What If issue, and I commented that I remembered an old short vignette in the back of a What If issue, "What if Galactus had been raised by Aunt May and Uncle Ben?" After digging through my old comics at my parents' house in NJ, I tracked it down... It appears in What If No. 3 of the second series back in 1989. The main storyline is "What If Steve Rogers had Refused to Give Up Being Captain America?" based on a brief period in which Captain America resigned due to political pressue. This What If issue is a good story in and of itself, but the humorous vignette in the back is pretty funny, entitled "What If Ben Parker's Nephew Was Galactus?" I present that vignette here after the jump...

Sweet crispy Jesus, that was AWESOME! Ha ha ha ha!
I'm so saying "By the power cosmic which is my birthright, I say NO" as a response to all questions from now on.
