American Update: Marvel 1968: The Silver Surfer soars in first solo issue
*Marvel: Following his debut in Fantastic Four #48, Norrin Radd, Herald of Galactus, gained popularity as a recurring guest-star, and his popularity was recognized when Marvel launched his own series in the double-sized format in 1968. This premier issue featured, for the first time, John Buscema’s illustrations on the Surfer, a body of work generally acknowledged to be among his finest, and presented also for the first time a 38-page account of the Surfer’s origins, plus, in the back, a 13-page tale of the Watcher, detailing for the first time reasons behind the Watcher’s oath of non-interference. Uncommon in any grade, this newest copy of Surfer #1 is a superior VG+ pence copy, light creasing at spine and far cover edge, but unimpaired cover scene with great eye appeal. On sale at £125. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
