The Surfer knows a lot of things or has at least felt things. He even has had a lot of experiences, but there was a time when he was more blind, and that time when he knew only what was before him and not true freedom!

Origin: Silver Surfer and the Watchers. This has a detached cover. I made a trade, some Silver Surfer and Amazing Spider-man issues for a major Hulk vs Wolverine statue. That remains one of my biggest regrets and worst deals that I've made! I got this issue to sort of recoup and lick my wounds. I mean, the cover is Awesome, written by Stan Lee, it is an instant classic! Still a great story by Stan Lee introducing the ongoing to "his favorite character" and keeping it close vested to his idea of what the Surfer can stand for. He is now the rider or "Sentinel of the Space Ways!" These eventual classics were read, and that cover bought, with the excitement and joy of the travel and journeys of expectation. The story really stands out and builds the Silver Surfer's character to form who we know today. What a journey! That keeps moving forward the plot of greats like Jack Kirby and creators alike.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "This Is Me... Now: A Love Story!" A biopic by Jennifer Lopez about Jennifer Lopez, like the Silver Surfer who is now free of Galactus hold they need to star in their own "story" and make of it what they will! Sometimes it is us holding us back, but sometimes the fresh start comes from at least considering where it is we came from that shaped our existence!
Grader Notes:
detached front cover;
large crease top of front cover breaks color;
readers crease full left of front cover breaks color.

Classic Cover! Thor clashes against the great Silver Surfer. I'm lucky to have got this cover! Once upon a time I traded a CGC 8.0 of this book with cream pages and an Amazing Spider-man #129 in CGC 4.5, for a Wolverine vs Hulk Statue! I'm thankful to have the statue, but this issue of Silver Surfer almost fell through the cracks of my collection. It's a humble 4.0, but at $240 cost, I'm so lucky that I didn't regret the trade forever. Give me a rainbow bridge, Lord of HOPE! A clash of "titans" then bonded to form a cause. The resolution, is it too late? Brakadoom! A full-on tale that is "thusly" incorporated by the cover and the results from the clash will echo through the story. Statues have been made of this cover as well, so we'll have to search for those. I believe they are two separate pieces that come together to form the cover. Those are also older pieces that show the art involved with the older style!
Complete with a back cover picture of free screening tickets, or rather $30 off purchase towards seeing, "Godzilla and King Kong: The New Empire!" Seen in Screen X style with side walls of screen action to show two behemoths roaring to collide! Almost as the Led Zeppelin soundtrack of the Silver Surfer cover portrays! I took my dad of 84 years who hasn't been to a theater in 10+ years, and he accounted it as a bonding experience, as did I!
Grader Notes:
moderate foxing;
multiple crease right bottom of front cover breaks color;
multiple crease right top of whole book;
very small chip out left bottom of spine.

Silver Surfer Vs Spider-man. The first they've met! I wanted to again get back a Silver Surfer that meant something to me. After trading away my #4, I'm happy to hold this book in grade for one of the most epic meetings for the 1st time! I had found this "raw and in the wild" several times, although they were priced accordingly. It must be a time-honored tradition for this book to command a premium. I enjoy the cover, for that would be a dream match-up! Especially when the Silver Surfer was new, had his own ongoing series, and to see him get his character rounded out. What better way than to go outside the "usual" and have a Spider-encounter. Sure to be a sarcasm good time! The Silver Surfer accurately describes the character, almost picture perfect. He would look very stunning in film, and he has, therein lies the need for a good plot! Kirby often started off with perfect transitioning of are to help tell stories, that courage helped others continue it for many issues more, like John Buscema for this issue!
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "STING!" A pet arachnid turns out not to be "friendly in the neighborhood", when it grows into a flesh-eating stray that attacks those who originally looked after it. Pets?!? What can you do when they turn out to be older and are the biting and stinging variety?!
Grader Notes:
crease left top of front cover through book breaks color;
crease right bottom of back cover;
spine stress lines breaks color.

Stan Lee story with John Buscema and Dan Adkins art, a Marie Severin cover! It looks a little different than the first couple issues where Kirby was front and center. That is all relative to the Stan Lee story inside, as he explores the space ways within this ongoing series. Silver Surfer has been showing off, rather showing that he too has morals and a stand for freedom. What happens when those ideals bump heads with a more established super-hero? The Silver Surfer shows his beginning strides to comprehend what being a super-hero entails, making friends along the way, and being sure to rebuild bridges rather than leave them burned. Could this be a Stan Lee internal struggle? See the Human Torch who is mostly earthbound in origin, teach as an example to show the true badges of honor that are only being fleshed out in the Silver Surfer character. I noticed when buying at Awesome Comics a Local Comic Shop that there seems to be a 19-cent sticker in the price box, and it is probably why it is only a fine condition graded CGC 6.0! Otherwise, the blemishes are few, so I'm glad to add the example to my collection.
Complete with a back cover picture of other type price "variants", but the raw and published kind, from Australia! Given to me by boardie punisherpunihserpunisher when he visited the U.S.A. Standing for those now Silver Surfer learned lessons of the "American Way!" Abroad those ethics are by and large attractive to visitors.
Grader Notes:
moderate cover tanning;
small sticker left top of front cover;
small tear left top of front cover;
small tear top staple.
