Wednesday Worlds of Wonder SILVER SURFER: THE ULTIMATE COSMIC EXPERIENCE Preface and Creator Bios

Here's the text pieces from the long OOP graphic novel...

Judge for yourself as to the historical accuracy of the material.

Nice to see the rest of the creatives get a little attention.

But, Stan Lee realized the PR value to his audience of promoting the writers and artists like rock stars (as his promo for the first issue of Fantasy Masterpieces demonstrated), and pushed the image of a happy "bullpen" (with him as the lead creative, of course).

We hope you enjoyed seeing this long-lost bit of Marvel history, and suggest you bookmark this blog for a lot more HTF comics goodies...

Silver Surfer

The Ultimate Cosmic Experience

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!
