*Marvel: We kick-off the Good Doctor selection of Tales To Astonish with a favourite issue. Sentinel of Galactus, Norrin Radd, aka the Silver Surfer, became a hugely popular guest character following his early appearances in the Fantastic Four, and one of his most sought-after guest-shots – still prior to the premier issue of his ongoing series – is Tales to Astonish #93, in which the Surfer and the Incredible Hulk face off, courtesy of Stan Lee and Marie Severin. Cosmic power and epic action with a poignant ending – and a Sub-Mariner story, too! Even though it’s the Surfer’s twelfth appearance, it’s his first crossover with the wider Marvel Universe, outside of the Fantastic Four series. A nice mid-grade pence-printed copy, flat and tight with good cover colour and some gloss, firmly attached staples and nice off-white to white pages. Minor corner blunting and edge handling wear, but no significant defects.
