Description
One of the all-time great stories of the Silver Surfer, by the legendary Stan "the Man" Lee and visionary French artist Jean Giraud, A.K.A. Moebius - as stunning now as it was 30 years ago! A star falls to Earth. Panic grips the planet as mankind prepares for its inevitable end. But the star is a ship, and inside is a god. All he asks is adoration. Overcome with relief, man rushes to obey. There is only one voice of dissent that will not be silenced: the Silver Surfer, who recognizes the show more "god" as his former master! But why has Galactus encouraged mankind to live down to his darkest nature? The Sentinel of the Spaceways stars in a bewitching tale of man's folly and nobility. Also collecting, Silver Surfer: The Enslavers. show lessTags

I read this way back in the day, and I remember liking it then. But it doesn't really hold up, and I swear the Croatian translation I read was way less stilted and awkward. Some parts are still very good—every panel that includes Galactus, the ink—but the hamfisting is just too hamfisty.
This is as much a Moebius work as it is a Stan Lee work, and it is fantastic. Anyone who wants to call themselves a fan of Moebius needs to read this. Period.
