Silver Surfer #106

The cover of Silver Surfer #106 (July 1995) presents a striking image of the Surfer himself striding forward in gleaming silver form, framed by massive mechanical structures — and the cover copy poses a tantalizing question: what happens when the Skyrider of the Spaceways is granted his fondest wish, freedom from the burden of cosmic power? Tom Grindberg's pencils and inks capture Norrin Radd with a rare, almost serene expression, a quiet contrast to the imposing cosmic machinery surrounding him. It's a genuinely intriguing setup for "Crowd Control," with a creative team that includes writer Mike Lackey and artist Tom Grindberg delivering what looks to be a more introspective chapter in the Surfer's long journey.
