When I recall the Surfer's second series, no issues really come to mind which distinguish themselves from any of the others. That's either due to the direction of the series as a whole, or the impression that the title character comes across as a guest-star in his own book.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-28214676315647119342013-04-02T17:57:44.512-04:002013-04-02T17:57:44.512-04:00Such a shame this series comes so seriously off th...Such a shame this series comes so seriously off the rails after those stellar first four issues! Not Stan Lee's finest moment, and a waste of some fine John Buscema pencilling. It may be that the Silver Surfer is just one of those characters better suited to a supporting role.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16366973046396822651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-45060057956736929272013-04-02T12:59:35.076-04:002013-04-02T12:59:35.076-04:00I guess the term "whitey" stuck because ...I guess the term "whitey" stuck because there wasn't (and still isn't) a slang term for a silver color, and maybe "whitey" was the closest they could come. To make matters worse, our hippie even points out the Surfer's "white skin." It's a good thing Galactus let the Surfer keep his voice, otherwise he'd probably be known as "the Surfing Mime."<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-12160255063635498032013-04-01T18:21:14.629-04:002013-04-01T18:21:14.629-04:00The Silver Surfer.

Obviously silver is a difficult colour to portray in a comicbook, but that's only something that the reader should be aware of, not the characters in the story. Stan should've called him 'Silvie', but unfortunately that's a girl's name. H'mm, I think I need to get out more. Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.com
