Silver Surfer #1

In "Paradis artificiel," the Silver Surfer is sent by Galactus to investigate a mysterious artifact hidden within a comet—only for the enigmatic White Raven, hired by Thanos, to arrive on the same mission. As the Surfer and the bounty hunter uncover the truth inside the celestial body, they find themselves facing an ancient demon imprisoned within. The fate of the comet—and the ambitions of two cosmic powerhouses—hangs in the balance. Written by Ron Marz and Sophie Viévard, with art by Claudio Castellini and colors by Joe Rosas, this 1997 issue features a cover by Castellini, capturing the eerie beauty of the comet and the tension between its two visitors.
