Another Image of Faith and Devotion
And lo, the prophecies of Norrin the Younger were that day fulfilled before their very eyes.

I lol’ed. Thanks for that.
April 7, 2010 at 8:57 am
I guess he hungered for some Guatemalan food?

As a fan of both the Book of Mormon and Marvel Comics, I am trying to imagine how this could get any better.
April 7, 2010 at 9:07 am
I think I get that whole Olive Tree parable in Jacob 5 now–the servant was Norrin, and the Lord of the Vineyard was Galactus. So Galactus wanted to destroy the vineyard, but Norrin pleaded for Galactus to wait, right?
April 7, 2010 at 9:08 am
danithew, that’s easy: Someone could make a movie about either a) the Book of Mormon or b) the Silver Surfer that didn’t suck.
April 7, 2010 at 9:11 am
We LOL’d too.
but, I’m here with my son home sick from school, and we want to know who that guy is. We googled Norrin and Marvel and only got as far as the silver surfer. Somebody clue us in.
April 7, 2010 at 9:18 am
Norrin Radd was the herald of Galactus. That should be enough for you, Johnna. This shouldn’t be too easy!
April 7, 2010 at 9:19 am
Awesome!
April 7, 2010 at 9:33 am
Ah, here I thought it was Mastermind from the X-Men series :(
April 7, 2010 at 11:08 am
So Norrin is a type of Elias?
April 7, 2010 at 11:49 am
Too far from Star Wars for me. I thought it was one of the Decepticons.
April 7, 2010 at 11:55 am
This is making me question all of my hope for the Second Coming . . . Thanks Matsby.
April 7, 2010 at 1:24 pm
I was really worried no one besides Steve would know who Galactus is, so these comments make me really happy.
I know this point of view doesn’t make me popular with comic fans, but I liked the Silver Surfer movie, Scott. I just wish they had big purple helmut Galactus instead of the cloud Galactus.
And yeah, I think the Silver Surfer is a type of Elias.
April 7, 2010 at 1:53 pm
Contrary to the Book of Mormon account, Galactus actually BROUGHT 3 days of darkness.
April 7, 2010 at 3:56 pm
So, will Mike Allred include this in his Book of Mormon comics?
April 7, 2010 at 7:00 pm
Brilliant!
April 7, 2010 at 10:05 pm
Fantastic. A chiseled comic book character fits in perfectly in a Friberg painting!
April 7, 2010 at 10:06 pm
I almost made a much geekier comment about the Power Cosmic, but had to restrain myself.
April 8, 2010 at 8:40 pm
I pointed to the picture and asked my husband which character it was to which he replied by BUSTING UP IN HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER… after recovering he told me who it was (I knew the name, but only knew the “cloud” version of him) then I read the Jacob 5 comment… to which he couldn’t contain the laughter…
BTW He really wants to use this as his desktop at work :)

I would like to see John Byrne do some Book of Mormon artwork …
