Wednesday Worlds of Wonder SILVER SURFER: THE ULTIMATE COSMIC EXPERIENCE Conclusion

When Last We Left the Sentinel of the Spaceways...

Original, unused cover by Jack Kirby & Mike Royer and published cover by Earl Norem

Caught by the CIA in an energy-absorbing trap, the Silver Surfer seemed destined for experimentation in a government laboratory, but something from space swoops down and frees him...

"Tamam Shud" means "ended" or "finished" in ancient Persian.

Bet a lot of you thought it was a quote from a writer named "Tamam"!

The actual quote is from Edward FitzGerald's famous translation of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam.

Was Stan the Man poetic or pompous?

Next Wednesday, a follow-up with the text pieces from the graphic novel, including the bios of the creatives!

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder SILVER SURFER: THE ULTIMATE COSMIC EXPERIENCE Part 6

We Have Already Seen...

...actually, we haven't seen this, since it's an unused pencil page by Jack (King) Kirby from the sequence you're about to read.

Galactus' creation, Ardina, attempts to sway the Silver Surfer from defending Earth (and humanity) against the Planet Devourer.

But, if anything, she strengthens his resolve and he attempts to break through the barrier Galactus has placed around Earth to once more do battle with the towering alien!

However, the force field is too strong, and the Skyrider of the Spaceways plummets, drained, back to the planet's surface...

Who has saved the Surfer...and why?

Find out next Wednesday as we present the thrilling conclusion!

Monday Mars Madness MARS ATTACKS "Saucers Blast Our Jets"

We Have Already Seen...

Art by Wally Wood, Bob Powell, and Norm Saunders

...the inhabitants of Mars decide to invade the Earth.
They send an armada of flying saucers who promptly destroy satellites (both manned and unmanned), then attack a military base!

but the fun's only starting...

Sadly, we never got to see our country's capitol immolated, since this was the final issue of the series!

This advertisement from the back cover is all the public ever saw of the next two issues!

The artist round-robin continued with this issue as John Hebert illustrates what turns out to be the series' swan-song!

With the similarity in art style, Hebert might have been the previous issue's "John Green", but there's no way to verify that theory!
