It was only later that I realized it was, as you say, quite similar to Galactus and his herald(s). Also, the art was "off." Look at those panels you reprinted. They're all "tie-dye" Peter Max weirdness with wavy lines and Kirby crackle. Even the scenes that are not supposed to be "weird" per se, like the Wildfire scene where he misses Dawnstar or the Dream Girl messing with her hair....lack of backgrounds in the former, and NONE of the characters actually looking at the camera in the latter. Giffen was clearly trying to be avante garde and creative, which was fine, but just a tad off-putting. <br />As for the back-up, as a kid I read it and thought, kinda a waste of paper. The President knew about the wedding, but pretended to not know? Kinda cruel. Hugged her son but not her daughter-in-law at the end. <br />As an adult in a mixed-marriage (US-Japan) I find this almost offensive. I don't know how Jewish mother-in-laws are with their non-Jewish daughter-in-laws, but this is just not a pleasant evening. <br />And that title. Guess WHAT is Coming to Dinner? That's a mean-spirited take-off on the classic inter-racial movie starring Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracey, and Sidney Poitier. Levitz should have done better.
