However, if you never find out it isn't, then it still is - and always will be - so, as you suggest, it's probably best not to find out. My 18 issues of the Silver Surfer are still up in my loft, I think. I'd better get them down soon before they get damaged by the less than perfect storage conditions up there.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-13180544993757547502015-07-27T11:25:11.096+01:002015-07-27T11:25:11.096+01:00Funny you should do a post like this just now Kid,...Funny you should do a post like this just now Kid, I was reading a comic on the weekend, or the Masterworks version of it (the original being safely bagged and boarded for posterity) that provokes the strongest recollection of its purchase of any comic that I have. The title; Silver Surfer No 5 (where he battles the Stranger), the place it was aquired; Bill's Book Bar, a second hand book, mag and comics shop in a small arcade back in my home town. A place I have now been away from for coming up towards twice as many years as I was there! (scary) The comics were on the kid-friendly lower shelves of a wall of paperbacks and mags and from that vantage point they all seemed to tower above us. Or maybe it was because we were just kids at the time. I must have looked at every page of that issue more times than I can recall, with John Buscema being near the top of his game and ably inked by his brother Sal. Still one of my favorite issues of anything. Don't know if that shop is still there after all this time but I never seem to get around to checking it out on my annual return to the town. Maybe best left to the way I picture it in my mind and not see it as it is now I think.Philip Crawleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-28576021673598505492015-07-26T18:34:28.781+01:002015-07-26T18:34:28.781+01:00A great little tale.

The mistake was restored for the most recent Masterworks and Omnibus volumes.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-47555647313155243972015-07-26T18:28:58.379+01:002015-07-26T18:28:58.379+01:00I was reading "KURRGO, MASTER Of PLANET X!&qu...I was reading "KURRGO, MASTER Of PLANET X!" just the other day.<br />I felt the time was right for me to go through my ESSENTIAL collections.baabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388667792167744260noreply@blogger.com
