    Galactus guest stars in "In Final Battle!" Script by Marv Wolfman. Art by John Byrne (breakdowns) and Joe Sinnott (finishes). Cover by John Byrne and Joe Sinnott. One of the great Fantastic Four battle issues of the bronze age! It's Galactus vs. the Sphinx...and the winner gets the Earth! While this cataclysmic confrontation is taking place in the Egyptian desert, the Human Torch wages a desperate fight for survival on-board Galactus' spaceship against Terrax! The situation looks just about hopeless, but the rapidly aging Mr. Fantastic along with the Watcher may have one (ultimate) trick left! Truly an issue of cosmic magnitude! (Note: The Sphinx returns in Marvel Two-in-One 91.) 32 pages Cover price $0.40.
