Essential Silver Surfer, Vol. 1 (Marvel Essentials) (v. 1)
$16.99
One of the comic universe's great tragic heroes, the Silver Surfer has inspired some of the medium's best science-fiction sagas, and several of them are in this volume. Gathering material from Silver Surfer 1-18 and Fantastic Four Annual 5, ESSENTIAL SILVER SURFER VOL. I re-presents some of the finest tales to come out of the early 70s. The origin story is moving and powerful, and sets the tone for the rest of the volume. Some of the stories are classics, particularly "The Power and the Prize" from Silver Surfer #3, in which the diabolic Mephisto is introduced for the first time. Other standouts include "Worlds Without End" and "The Heir of Frankenstein," but none of the tales are less than above-average and most of them are very good or excellent. Writer Stan Lee made a career out of melodramatic dialogue and soulful, often troubled heroes, but Lee's purple prose is perfectly suited for the Silver Surfer. A dreamer by nature, tormented by the memory of his beloved Shalla Bal and spurned by the Earthlings whom he has been banished to live amongst, the Silver Surfer is one of the most noble and introspective of all comic book characters, and Lee's poignant scripts make him one of the most empathetic as well. Most of this volume's stories are illustrated by John Buscema, with a couple by co-creator Jack Kirby thrown in for good measure. Both men are excellent artists, and both infuse the Surfer with pathos and power alike.

As with all of the Marvel Essentials books, the original contents are reprinted in black and white. Though this does deplete the otherwise beautiful artwork of some of its grandeur, the sheer quantity of great material makes most of the Eseentials great value. And this one is one of the best.

I'm sure I would be branded a heathen by the comic community by saying this, but this second volume is WAY more fun to read than the first. I don't really want to see Silver Surfer, master of space, trapped on earth. This volume features him out in space, kickin' butt. The stories are more modern (venturing into the 80s!) and are def more relatable than the whining in the first volume. Enjoy.
