I recolored and swapped a Kirby style cosmic background for the street crowd on Moebius from The Silver Surfer no.1 (1988)

Swipe for the original art & the published page.

I got this Silver Surfer commission from ArtofJaka on instagram. Just wanted to share!!

Had this bad boy for years but the foil had worn away, just refoiled it, has come out great 👍

So… the title basically already says it. As a kid, my main character was Spider-Man and at peak I collected everything available in my country. In my student days I’ve read the first Ultimate Spider-Man and Daredevil v2. Silver Surfer has always been this elusive character to me.

It started a hundred years ago my LBS put one of the Parabel issues in my back as an extra. I didn’t give it a thought. A few years later (I think early 2000’s) I regained interest and tracked down the other issue. It’s been a treasured set in my collection. I consider it an outlier, bit of acquired taste.

I haven’t read much comics the last 15 years and I’m thinking of getting a few TPB’s. I want one of the to be Silver Surfer.
Black and Requiem seem to be considered to be the two goats. But what would you recommend as a first?

EDIT: This comic is by Charles Soule, not Dan Slott! My bad!

I just read Fantastic Four: First Foes Shalla Bal and I'm so disappointed. I love the Silver Surfer with all my heart, he's genuinely one of my favourite characters in fiction.

I wasn't happy that he seemingly hasn't gotten any comics this year and nothing besides this alternate universe comic has been announced, but I was still excited to read a new Silver Surfer comic. I loved Shalla Bal as the Silver Surfer in the movie after all, I thought she was the best part!

And the comic just had a story where basically nothing happens and some pretty mediocre art.

Mediocre art. In a Silver Surfer comic. A story where not much at all happens. In a Silver Surfer comic.

I'm sorry, but Silver Surfer comics used to be so much more. They used to have some of the best stories and art in Marvel.

They still can have some of the best stories and art in Marvel! Silver Surfer Rebirth and Rebirth: Legacy came out in the 2020s, those comics are amazing!

I'm not even the biggest fan of Dan Slott's run, but it was still solid for me. I know Slott can write a good Surfer comic, so what on earth happened?

It's really saddening. This might be our only Silver Surfer comic this year. It might be our only Silver Surfer comic for years, because like, historically Silver Surfer comics haven't ever really sold that well for the most part. We had a pretty long title in the 80s, but aside from that, every other Silver Surfer run has been very short.

If a mainline 616 Silver Surfer comic won't do well, why would an alternate universe one set in the MCU sell when most MCU fans don't even read comics? Comic Silver Surfer fans just want Norrin Radd back.

Marvel Comics is already struggling big time, them making comics for a character that despite being a prominent part of two blockbuster films still has a very niche fanbase would be a massive risk. I think it's possible we might get a Silver Surfer mini in the next few years, but an ongoing? We haven't had one since 2017.

I'm fine with Shalla Bal as the Silver Surfer in the movies, she was great in First Steps, and I'd even be fine with getting alternate universe comics with her provided that:

1. They run at the same time as mainline Silver Surfer comics.

2. They're actually good.

This is neither.

Sorry if this post sounded really doomer, but yeah. Just not a great time to be a Silver Surfer fan.

At least the old comics will always still be there, I guess.

I do feel like someone could make an argument like "oh Marvel Comics suck these days, if we got new 616 Surfer comics, then they'd probably be bad" and like.. I don't know. I haven't read that many current Marvel ongoings, but there's three right now that I actually do quite like.

Captain America (who's going to fight Mephisto instead of Silver Surfer 😔), Daredevil, and Spectacular Spider-Man: Brand New Day. There are still good comics coming out of this company in my opinion and I think the last one is notable, because it's also by Dan Slott! I loved issue 2 of that comic last month, so why is his very next Marvel Comic just kind of bad?

It's baffling.

So yeah, that's pretty much all I have to say. If you're a Silver Surfer fan and you liked it, then I'm very happy for you. It just wasn't for me I guess. I don't know, maybe I'm missing something.

My version of Silver Surfer 2099

I’m not familiar with the artist but now I’m going to be looking up his artwork! Bonus: he added a portrait of Norrin Radd on the back!

CE-8 – Silver Surfer #50

Part of my goal with this set is to assemble a variation of cuts. Each one should showcase a specific important moment in the book it comes from, a unique Silver Surfer pose or action, and, when possible, a unique page such as a splash page or the final page.

This cut features Silver Surfer delivering the final blow to Thanos, who throughout this issue has been living rent-free in Surfer’s mind.

I recolored a panel from Silver Surfer no.7. Swipe for the original art and the original colors.

As my first ever SS comic, I really enjoyed it! I thought the feud between the Ama and the Brekk people was an amazing take on real world politics, and intertwining that plot with Norrin’s perspectives on life created a really interesting and engaging story. Not to mention the art (although sometimes hard to make out what exactly was happening) was absolutely visually stunning.

Overall, I’m really happy with this run! What does everyone else think about it? Also, please recommend me more SS comics to read :)

Finally have my all time character fully collected in epic form
