About this Collection

This second Essential volume collects Silver Surfer issues #1 through #14 from the 1987 ongoing series, along with the Silver Surfer: The Enslavers graphic novel and material from Super-Villain Classics #1. Norrin Radd continues his cosmic wanderings, clashing with Mephisto, Galactus, and the Elders of the Universe while exploring his humanity and his ties to Earth. The black-and-white Essentials format presents Steve Englehart's and Jim Starlin's runs in a dense, affordable package for fans of the Sentinel of the Spaceways.

In "The Answer," the Silver Surfer finds his path back to the stars only to face a devastating truth: his home world of Zenn-La lies in ruins, and his beloved Shalla-Bal has been taken by Mephisto. Written by John Byrne and Stan Lee, with art by Byrne and inks by Tom Palmer, this pivotal issue sees the Surfer return to Earth not as a guest, but as a warrior seeking redemption. The cover by Byrne and Palmer captures the weight of his journey, as the cosmic exile confronts the darkness that has stolen everything he holds dear.
