Owner's Description

1st appearance of the Silver Surfer and the 1st cameo of Galactus. I really jumped on this as a noob, happy with my 3.5. I passed on this at Titan Comics, made it home and immediately changed my mind, and I drove back and bought this along with #49 & #50! It wasn't too much out pocket. This issue is Silver Surfer Gold in the Silver age, and I'm so glad that I didn't let it slip through my fingers! These issues where pivotal in history, ushering in the Surfer was the best thing for Stan Lee and created by Jack Kirby! It was reportedly his favorite character. The Silver Surfer was a space way's traveler who had been sent to prepare this world for Galactus as his Herald. Not one of Stan's own creations but he did speak of it fondly, although over the years there were events that looked like daring changes to his own characters, that I wonder if he would have approved. Written by Stan it must have felt worthy of his hand, and Kirby astounds by creating his "favorite!"

Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass of the movie before released to theaters of, "The Watchers!" The Watcher who first appeared in Fantastic Four #13, is much akin to this "movie" by M. Night Shyamalan's daughter Ishana! Precarious and bewildered to know and not affect outcomes, sees the results of the Fantastic Four and their plight in humanity. The all-important question is, does this bring hope? Or are those who watch too outside the realm to relay information? They are the "watchers", who stand behind the veil and all while being perceived and mysteriously eerie with a mission of their own! What a Twist! ~ Robot Chicken
