In exchange for forgoing his limitless hunger, Galactus transformed Norrin into the Silver Surfer and forced him into servitude as his herald. But all that changed on Earth, with the Surfer freed of Galactus but trapped on our planet. Written by Stan Lee and illustrated by John Buscema, these double-length tales of cosmic conflict are some of the most masterful Marvel sagas ever produced. You will experience awe at the Surfer's origin, be torn down to the depths of hell by Mephisto and witness a battle with Thor that shakes the heavens! Collecting SILVER SURFER (1968) #1-4, and material from FANTASTIC FOUR ANNUAL #5 and NOT BRAND ECHH #13.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout Artists \u0026amp; Writers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWriter\/editor   Stan Lee (1922-2018) made   comic-book history together with Jack Kirby in 1961 with Fantastic Four #1. The monumental   popularity of its new style inspired Lee to develop similarly themed   characters — including the Hulk and X-Men with Kirby, Spider-Man and Doctor   Strange with Steve Ditko, and Daredevil with Bill Everett. After shepherding   his creations through dozens of issues — in some cases a hundred or more —   Lee allowed other writers to take over, but he maintained steady editorial   control. Eventually, he helped expand Marvel into a multimedia empire. In   recent years, his frequent cameo appearances in Marvel’s films established   Lee as one of the world’s most famous faces.John   Buscema (1927-2002) literally wrote the book on being a   Marvel artist — namely, How To Draw Comics the   Marvel Way — and few were better qualified. His   career dated back to the Timely\/Atlas era of the late ’40s and early ’50s.   Soon after beginning the Marvel Age of Comics, Stan Lee recruited Buscema   from the advertising field to the Marvel Bullpen. Buscema followed a long run   on Avengers with the   long-anticipated first Silver Surfer series. He subsequently succeeded Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four, Thor and other titles. By the time   of his retirement in 1996, Buscema had penciled nearly every Marvel title —   including his personal favorite, Conan the   Barbarian.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Marvel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43591008387263,"sku":"9781302949099","price":40.8,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/9781302949099.jpg?v=1722861963","url":"https:\/\/popweasel.co.nz\/products\/mighty-marvel-masterworks-the-silver-surfer-vol-1-the-sentinel-of-the-spaceways","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
