For some reason, the names that stuck with me were the ones Marvel used when they did a spoof of The Silver Surfer in one of their humor comics: Borin’ Lad and Shallow Gal. 😄
Silver Surfer is such a underrated superhero. You can tell Lee had a special place in his heart for Radd. Silver Surfer: Parable by Lee and Moebius is also amazing and some of the best art in superhero comics.
The Surfer has always been one of my favorite chars. I have all those early issues. Nobody, not even 'King' Kirby, drew SS better than Big John Buscema.
I have a Stan Lee book recommendation. It was called "Stan Lee presents the best of the worst: a Comprehensive Compendium of the Rottenest Things on Earth". In it he lists the worst historians, the worst restaurants, the worst painters etc, each one followed by a one liner bang bang joke. For instance The Worst Historian died trying to stretch himself with a rope to get rid of his double chin. The comedy line: I wonder what kind of historian he was. If you don't have a copy get one! It's a must have.
Great review. Silver Surfer was my favorite when I was younger. I still think Ron Lim drew him better than anyone, though. They just brought the Marz/Lim duo back, which I still need to go pick up.
Very interesting Michael. I buy so many books since I watch you channel ! I would love your take on Luke Cage, Brother Voodoo and Killraven if you're interested in those characters. Thanks for all the videos you've already done though. Cheers from Belgium.
You make my library feel guilty as all I have for comic books is two encyclopedias of Marvel-DC characters; apparently I am going to have to look into the Epic Collection at the very least.....and one question, what did you think of the Silver Surfer in the two FF Movies?
@@michaelk.vaughan8617 Yes, that part was a very big disappointment.....it seems they cannot get the FF right no matter how many times they make a movie....but some things were good.

Yes! That was a great spoof! It’s in this book.
Silver Surfer #4 has one of the greatest covers of all time. Just perfect.
It was!

What a gorgeous edition, I have the first 5 issues in an "undersize" pocketbook edition!.. Still fab though, great story!

That book sounds amazing!

Ron Lim did a great job!
I can even remember the first comic book by anyone that I read. It was a pretty average: The Way of the Wookiee!, by Marvel [1979].
Ha! What a first comic!

I dont know a thing about Silver Surfer (but do now of course ☺). It looks pretty good.
You may have noticed I kind of like it.
I wish the SS artist edition had more Mephisto page art.

I thought they did a good job with Silver Surfer. But they made Galactus a big cloud!

Thanks!
I think Joe Sinnot was Kirby’s best inker.
