I have grown so TIRED of the "square eyes" Galactus. When I did the character during my "restoration" period on FF, I naturally went back to what Kirby had drawn originally, and found he'd drawn this:

Kirby himself didn't keep it for long (he didn't keep ANYTHING for long!), but I liked the idea of Galactus having some kind of instruments in front of his eyes. A little extra something!

Since then, almost everyone who has drawn the character has just given him square irises and pupils.

It almost makes it resemble stone.  Brings Mjolnir to mind.

What about the angry Wolverine-esque snarling mouth? I hate when artists do that.  Galactus doesn't "GRRRRRR!"

 The new theory described in this BBC News article sounds amazingly like what Lee and Kirby wrote for the origin of Galactus.
