Ever since his introduction in the Fantastic Four #48, the gigantic cosmic entity called Galactus status in the Marvel universe is dependent on his power which he derives from devouring the energy from alien worlds throughout the galaxy and beyond. Employing individuals to seek out suitable worlds for consumption, Galactus and his heralds have become a known symbol of panic and potential doom, especially for his long-time enemies and occasional allies the Fantastic Four. Despite the efforts of many heroes (and select villains) throughout the years, Galactus' hunger appears to be unstoppable except for one issue of Marvel Team-Up when an unlikely duo discovered a popular snack food on Earth was able to satiate the colossal purple entity.
In Marvel Team-Up #137 by Michael Carlin and Greg LaRocque, the Fantastic Four's trip to the circus is derailed by news of an incident in San Diego. Joined by Spider-Man who happened to be sitting in the same row with Aunt May and Peter Parker, Sue and Reed leave their son Franklin in the care of May Parker whom Spider-Man vouches for as the heroes depart and the show goes on. Unbeknownst to them, the great Galactus' power has slowly been decreasing and after his failing power levels result in the death of his herald Nova (Frankie Raye), he travels to Earth seeking Reed Richards for help. Sensing a similar but different power signature nearby, Galactus leaves the Baxter Building and ends the greatest show by literally tearing the big top down and looking for Franklin Richards, eager to recruit the powerful young man as his newest herald.
In a strange turn of events, Franklin's babysitter interrupts Galactus' power transference and Aunt May is transformed into a cosmically powered version of herself called the Golden Oldie. Galactus accepts this and insists that she begin her duty by finding suitable nourishment because of course, Galactus hungers. Hilariously, it is Franklin who suggests that if Galactus is hungry, he can have his pack of Twinkles. Initially skeptical that Marvel's version of the famous Hostess snack Twinkies will do anything, the small snack makes a big impression as it apparently contains energies that satisfy Galactus' hunger. Graving more of that sugar rush, we see Franklin and Aunt May tear apart a nearby concession stand, and once Franklin is in safe hands, May travels throughout Manhattan, Queens, and even the world to get her new Master what he needs. But even after Galactus consumes every single pack of Twinkles there are in the world, he still hungers for more because once you're hooked, you're hooked.
The creative team of this issue continue to up the hilarity when Galactus tells May that without any Twinkles, she has to return to her old job of finding alien worlds for him to eat instead. May is barely in space for less than a page, debating the kind of stuff we've seen from the Silver Surfer and other heralds before, before she comes across what is drawn to be a planet-sized pack of Twinkies. Years before we could even think of a Ghostbusters reference to make, May's attempt to signal Galactus to her discovery is delayed by the planet's creator, a creature that clearly looks like the Pillsbury Doughboy who apparently created everything here to be consumed by Galactus. Suggesting that the Doughboy would be a better herald than her, May leaves Galactus and his new herald/chef to enjoy and returns to Earth.
While it appears that May's time as Galactus' herald would be a secret known only to Franklin, May, and Mary Jane Watson when her powers are absorbed by Franklin, Galactus reappears in front of the comics reunited cast, asking if they by chance have the largest glass of milk in history available. The comic ends with Peter Parker along with the other Marvel editors including Stan Lee all waking up, dismissing the following events as nothing but a silly dream. The entire comic is one big silly issue from a different era of comic book publishing and should be treated as such. As Galactus' co-creator Stan Lee would know, Galactus doesn't drink milk or eat Twinkies but imagine if he did. That's a big Twinkie, indeed.
