Owner's Description

Pedigree: Rocky Mountain

*Pedigree Background*
The Rocky Mountain pedigree, so named based on its Colorado roots, contains over 5,000 comic books in high grade runs of Marvel and DC titles from the 1960s and up. The comic books were stored meticulously for decades in a cool, dry basement, and have bold, newsstand fresh colors and white or off-white to white pages. “One of the unique things about the Rocky Mountain pedigree is that there are photographs of it in its original state, making it one of the most thoroughly documented pedigrees. It has long runs of Marvel and DC, and because of their high grades and their market acceptance, this collection certainly has special merit.” Collection brought to market by Comiclink president Josh Nathanson.

*Synopsis*
Checking on the girl who's life he saved, the Surfer is chased out of the hospital. Furious over once more being treated with hostility by the human race, the Surfer lashes out and uses his powers to grind the human race to a standstill causing everything electronic to fail. This gains the attention to Mephisto, lord of the neither world who wishes to claim the Silver Surfer's soul. In order to do so, Mephisto kidnaps Shalla-Bal and uses her to make the Surfer to do his bidding and turn up his soul.

Whisking Shalla-Bal to his realm, Mephisto is shocked when the Surfer is able to follow him to his realm. Mephisto tries to tempt the Surfer with riches and women in an attempt to corrupt his soul, however the Surfer is able to resist temptation. In a final attempt to try and corrupt the Surfer, Mephisto absorbs the Surfer into his mind. However, the opposite happens and Mephisto finds that the Surfer's purity is influencing his mind. Releasing the Surfer, Mephisto admits defeat, but not before sending Shalla-Bal back to Zenn-La and the Surfer back to Earth, where he is still trapped by the barrier erected by Galactus.
