That's the only depiction ever of the real God of Marvel,
then came the new illustrations that solidify this look in the new, "Marvel 1985."
Btw, lest mis-information starts to spread,
that wasn't any tribute of any kind to Kirby. 😂
(that's never been stated anywhere concerning Marvel comics, on panel, bios, nothing)
The truth:
That issue is 100% Canon, part of continuity, and it is the way God looks in Marvel.
He looks like a Human being, and is flawed like a Human being,
because well ... it's based off of real Human beings,
namely a broad fictional representation of the artists and writers of Marvel.
Just like Morrison's depiction of a true comic book God in the "Animal Man" arc.
.................................................................................
Morrison did not identify with his creation as an equal, opposite or inferior existence,
but rather as what they really are,
just drawings on a piece of paper.
.................................................................................
Just like Reed and the FF, Silver Surfer, Black Panther and even Galactus,
are just silly drawings on a piece of paper to the real OAA/God (writers/artists avatars)

====================================
"Meeting the Maker!"
(excerpt from the FF Ultimate Guide)
Let's see if this official information source from Marvel comics,
is stating what took place On Panel:
.................................................................................
++++ On Panel verification +++
1.
"The FF were amazed to find out,
he sketched out Reality in the same way as a comic-book artist:"
2.
"Redrawing Ben so that he once resembled the Thing:"
3.
"God then re-drew the FF's World, transporting them home:"
That was easy. 👆
====================================
Since even ample proof is usually not enough for intransigence,
let's overwhelm the field shall we.
====================================
(excerpt from the Official Marvel Handbook - FF - bio)
... "Quest led them to the gates of Heaven itself ...
the CreatorS (artists/writers) allowed it,
even healing Reed's facial scars as a parting gift.
++++ On Panel verification +++
FF# 511, is 100% Canon,
part of continuity and evidently the way God looks in Marvel..
That was easier. yawn
Originally posted by ScooblessI would imagine that God (if he exists) can look like anything he chooses to look like.
And yet what you said pertains, because yes,
I'm sure "God" can look like anything he chooses even in Marvel comics,
but,
"God" has only chosen to take the form of Human writers and artists
that work for Marvel in the real world.
Even using names in the literal sense:
====================================
Here's Roberto Sacasa (writer) appearing as what part of "God" is in Marvel.
(a writer ... and an artist as we saw in FF#511)
It's once again, fictional humanoid representations of real people.
I mean, even Joe Quesada (editor in-chief) is illustrated,
and depicted discussing the FF's future in their writing department:
.......................................................................................................
This is cool,
they convey the depiction as though the characters they give life to, are real:
.......................................................................................................
The writer imagines what will take place in the Marvelverse,
the artist then brings it to life on panel.
.......................................................................................................
This is a nice example of the "power," for lack of a better term, that TOAA has:
Sacasa decides to gives Reed the ability to "invent a tracking device that can scour the MultiverseS"
The Writer (TOAA) gave Reed Trans-Multiversal capabilities with a thought. 🙂
This isn't even "power" really being displayed by this "writer,"
it's inconsequential when categorizing it next to other stories/characters,
because they literally create everything that takes place on panel.
The writer/artist avatars are simply drawings in comics,
that represent the real writers/artists of the real world.
=======================================
PS. As we can all see, the top dog is the Editor in-Chief Joe Quesada,
but the Writer is the one that imagines what we read on panel,
and the artist is the one that gives that imagination life through illustrations.
Over at DC it's the same!
................................................................................
I also enjoyed Morrison's portrayal of a true comic book "God" in the Animal Man arc:
.................................................................................
It's right along the lines of FF#511, and other Marvel depictions,
but it's blatant, and more thorough in getting the idea across.
