The Silver Surfer Graphic Novel (Marvel/Simon and Schuster, 1978)

An incredible Kirby splash featuring the Silver Surfer and Ardina! Considered by many as the first "graphic novel", The Silver Surfer was the only original story released as a "Marvel Fireside Book", written by Stan Lee with stunning artwork by Kirby and Sinnott, the story was a new take on the Herald of Galactus, with this page showing the Surfer, board-in-hand, introducing himself to a human couple as his female counterpart skeptically looks on. Not only is this an epic illustration of the Silver Surfer by his creator, this would also be the final collaboration between Lee and Kirby, cementing this as a landmark story!
