In the absence of ideas for anything interesting to write about at the moment, Crivs, here are a few more spectacular SILVER SURFER covers for you to feast your ever-hungry eyes on. These are the last of the 68 page (including covers) King-Size Surfers - next time up, I'll feature the 36 page issues. You'll soon have all 18 covers to pore over in this classic series, so don't let me ever hear you say that I never give you anything.
Look at that fluid JOHN BUSCEMA Surfer figure below. When JACK KIRBY introduced the HERALD Of GALACTUS a few years before, his Surfer was graceful and supple, and really looked as if he was riding his cosmic board. By the time this issue came out, Kirby's rendition of Norrin (whenever he drew him in the FF) was stiff and stilted and just didn't look right. Buscema was one of the few artists ever to 'out-Kirby' Kirby, and STAN LEE was right in choosing Big John for the job of illustrating ol' Norrin's own magazine - in my humble opinion.
