1st Edition - Variant Edition - Volume 1 - 2nd and later printings. Collects Silver Surfer (1968-1970 1st Series) #1-18 and material from Fantastic Four (1961-1996 1st Series) Annual #5 and Not Brand Echh (1967-1969) #13.

Written by Stan Lee and Roy Thomas. Art by John Buscema, Jack Kirby, Marie Severin, Joe Sinnott, Dan Adkins, Chic Stone, Herbe Trimpe, and Frank Giacoia. Cover by John Buscema.

Born by the hand of the world-devourer, Galactus, Norrin Radd sacrificed himself to save his home planet and his true love, Shalla-Bal, but the price of their lives was servitude to the mighty Galactus - as his herald, the Silver Surfer! Now, exiled upon Earth, he struggles to understand the beauty and humanity of mortal men, and nobly seeks to heal the rifts that separate man from his brothers. Created by the titanic team of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in the pages of FANTASTIC FOUR, the Silver Surfer went on to become one of the most-beloved characters in all comicdom. Embodying the mind-blowing concepts of Kirby and Stan's socially conscious writing craft, the Surfer's stories expressed their creative vision in staggering and unique tales. Another talent would touch the character, however, granting him a soul-wrenching humanity that helped define him to this very day: the one and only John Buscema! A master of the craft, Buscema's Silver Surfer is considered by many to be the peak of comic-book art.

Now, the original adventures of the Silver Surfer are presented in one complete volume! Containing every story and letters page, restored and recolored to match the original issues, plus behind-the-scenes bonuses and critical essays, this book is the guaranteed way to get in on the character in the upcoming Fantastic Four film!

Hardcover, 576 pages, full color.
