The Silver Surfer #1 (Marvel/Epic, 1988)

A Marvel icon passed through the hand of Moebius and came back transformed! This issue's story, titled "Parable", joined Stan Lee's late-period moral fable with the refined science-fiction language of Franco-Belgian comics, a rare mainstream Marvel meeting that earned the 1989 Eisner Award for Best Finite Series. This page gathers Galactus, the Silver Surfer, and a city on edge into one sharp sequence. Galactus bears down from above, the crowd breaks through the streets, and the final panel holds on the Surfer as he looks upward at the source of the fear. This is Moebius at his most controlled and cinematic, bringing rare European sophistication to a major Marvel icon.
