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 before released to theaters of Amazon's "Challengers!" Starring Spider-Man's own Zendaya! The challenging part being of the tennis pros that herald attention, with deficits and tension that can "Cut Like a Knife" the Bryan Adams type tennis volley over the net is akin to the Surfer who contradicts the game design by finding passion elsewhere. He was on a mission but found love not in the way of which he was sent, but rather in the earthlings who had the chutzpah to stand against unbeatable odds! A 40/Love game, set, match if there ever was one, with a nod of the head and raise of the glass bottoms and surfs up!
