The Silver Surfer Omnibus Vol. 1
Part of the Marvel Omnibus guide — every release, in reading order
The earliest solo adventures of the Silver Surfer, considered by many to be the greatest cosmic sci-fi comics of all time!
Norrin Radd sacrificed himself to save his planet and his true love Shalla-Bal from the world-devourer Galactus — but the price was servitude as mighty Galactus' herald, the Silver Surfer! Now, exiled on Earth, the Surfer struggles to understand the beauty and humanity of mortal men and nobly seeks to heal the rifts that separate man from his brothers. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the pages of FANTASTIC FOUR, the Silver Surfer embodies Lee's socially conscious writing and Kirby's mind-blowing cosmic concepts — and here he is joined by another creator who grants him a soul-wrenching humanity: The one and only John Buscema! Experience staggering and unique tales as mankind is explored through the eyes of an outsider.
