Description
"From mythmakers Stan Lee and Jack Kirby comes the heroic legend of the Silver Surfer, who must stand alone against his one time master and colossus of the universe, Galactus, devourer of planets and galaxies. Galactus, the most destructive being in all of the universe, has directed his deadly appetite toward a puny little planet called Earth."--Tags

Esta versión me parece bastante mejor que la publicada originalmente en los números 48–50 de Los Cuatro Fantásticos. Al centrarlo todo en el enfrentamiento Estela-Galactus y las tentaciones que afronta el primero se acentúa su carácter de ángel caído y la historia gana en intensidad. Además Kirby se encontraba en su mejor época con un estilo absolutamente despendolado y cada vez más tendente al delirio. En el debe, Lee sobreescribe a base de bien y sus diálogos son un tanto pesados y reiterativos, pero no llegan a anular las virtudes de una narrativa que brilla por su fuerza visual y su profundidad temática.
One of the first graphic novels I ever owned (the original printing from 1978). If you ever wondered why Kirby belongs in a pantheon all his own, look right here.
