Set Description:
Created by Jack Kirby, the character first appears in The Fantastic Four #48 (March 1966), the first of a three-issue arc that fans call "The Galactus Trilogy".
Jack Kirby commented on the character's creation during an interview, stating "My conception of the Silver Surfer was a human being from space in that particular form. He came in when everybody began surfing—I read about it in the paper. The kids in California were beginning to surf. I couldn't do an ordinary teenager surfing so I drew a surfboard with a man from outer space on it."
