One of only four issues of Silver Surfer that Joe Staton worked on during his career. Hmm, I wonder how a Scooby Version of Silver Surfer would look. Anyway, back to this story...
In this series of Silver Surfer Volume 3, there are a total of 146 issues and 9 annuals to the series. Joe worked on issues; 11, 13, 14, & Annual #1.
I have noticed among the search that a lot of slabs recently are coming up for sale with the signed by Joe date of 6/5/21. Not too surprising considering it was his first convention since the pandemic hit and people were probably nostalgic for getting back to normal convention habits. What I am finding surprising though is a few of these recent finds have evidence light stains or dirt on the cover.
I doubt it's for sentimental purposes as the copies I have been purchasing are coming from comic book stores in California. Perhaps it was an oversight on the submitter. Then again, there have been times where I had to do a mad rush to find a certain copy of a book before a convention and you are up to the mercy of online sales without inspecting the book in person. I've gotten more qualified labels that way via eBay purchases...
Just three more issues to go to have the full run of Joe Staton on Silver Surfer.
Signed by Joe on 6/5/21 & graded by CGC on 05/09/22 almost a full year for a modern book.
