In "Course contre la montre," the Silver Surfer finds himself caught in a cunning trap set by Loki, who pretends to need his help in overthrowing Thor, god of thunder. With the battle between Thor and the Surfer still fresh, the cosmic traveler begins to suspect deception—but before he can uncover the truth, Loki whiskers him away to Earth. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema, inks by Sal Buscema, and colors by Bill Everett, this 1978 issue features a cover by John Buscema and Sal Buscema that captures the tension perfectly.
