Description
As a vintage comic reader only, I was pushed by friends to read this relatively recent run on Surfer by Mike Allred and Dan Slott. It started off as fun and quirky, and ended up heartwarming and memorable. A real tearjerker and instant classic (imo).

If you've read the story, you know that this page is a very big moment in it. A moment of forgiveness and surprise.

When I read the story, I highlighted this as the single page I wanted most from all the issues. Thanks you to Ryan for making that happen for me!

It's already framed on my wall right opposite my chair and I see it for hours every day.

Tho we gotta say good buy of the Surfer
Darling I promise you Fisch
I'll send you Allred love of splash page with a letter
Sealed with a kiss

Yes it's gonna be a Dawn loving Surfer
But I'll fill the cosmicness
I'll send you all my dreams into space in tear jerker
Sealed with a kiss

I'll see you in the sunlight
I'll stare Mike’s choices from my chair
I'll run to Ryan, but he sold you
In framing you will be cared

I don't want to say goodbye to the Surfer
Knowing the love and bliss
Oh let us make a pledge to meet with Psyranga
And steal a little kiss

The way Mike drew her eyes open really showcases her power in the moment.  I can see why this splash is so mesmersizing.  Congrats on adding this wonderful page to you spectacular collection.

I mean, yup!  One of the headlining pages from the run, due to the key moment but also purely because of the image itself.  Hopeful, sublime, some of Allred's best.  Congrats, Fisch!

As splashes go from the run, it's alright I suppose...

If only you had the Surfer, Tony Orlando and Dawn splash -- I'm looking for that one -- congrats on this beauty though.

Mike Allred has such a distinctive and pleasing style.  I haven't read this particular story, but it's easy to tell that this is a significant moment, and how cool that you were able to grab it!

Fabulous Silver Surfer page! It's interesting to me to notice how Allred draws the Surfer. Where Jack Kirby used thick black lines to create the illusion of chrome, Allred uses thin black lines alongside thin grey lines to create a similar impression. Same with the surfboard, which Kirby used thick black shadows and Allred uses thinner drybrush strokes alongside thin grey ones. Allred's approach creates the sense of a softer, more gentle SS, where Kirby was all about the power and the majesty of SS. That's my thought anyway,. ;-)
