The 'Silver Surfer' was one of the best known comic book characters of the sixties and seventies despite having a comic book that only lasted 18 issues.
After seventeen issues of steadily declining quality and basically the same story over and over, this series was limping to an end by 1970.
Jack Kirby, who created the character in his Fantastic Four comics, reinvented the Silver Surfer here as a primal character reborn in one of his last efforts before leaving Marvel for DC.
Kirby turns in an passionate story and art job surprisingly well inked by Herb Trimpe. Who knew that Trimpe should have been inking 'The King' all along?
This is an amazing, slam-bang, all-out fight issue that only Kirby could deliver. And that's not hyperbole... only Jack Kirby was capable of delivering this kind of entertainment!
