The Silver Surfer #103 (Marvel)
Glenn Greenburg (w) Tom Morgan (w)
The Silver Surfer is one of the most iconic of Marvels characters and certainly one of my favourites though this tale is from the nineties which was a period I mostly stopped reading comics. The era does not have a good reputation and it's not difficult to see why.
There's something about the artwork that I just couldn't relate to but seemed to infect most of the comic companies of the period. that said this isn't a bad one-shot story. Having previously read the Surfer being brushed off by Galactus yet again Norrin Radd continues his journey across the universe.
Until he meets the survivors. Those beings who had by chance or luck survived the consumption of their home worlds by the all-devouring Galactus. Led there by his partner in crime, the Silver Surfer.
The survivors are looking for revenge and spot an opportunity to deal with the Surfer who in their eyes is a criminal accomplice to genocide. An interesting take on the character that since the he first appeared in the Fantastic Four we had all held high as a hero.
Worth a read and an inexpensive back issue purchase.
