Silver Surfer #127

Issue #127 of Marvel's long-running series arrives in April 1997 with a cover that practically radiates cosmic energy — a gleaming Silver Surfer dominates the foreground, his chrome form blazing with light, while a second silver figure looms ominously in the background and two startled humans react with shock and alarm. The cover line "The Sky Rider of the Spaceways Reborn?!" promises something genuinely intriguing at the heart of J. M. DeMatteis's story "Puppets," brought to life here through Ron Garney and Bob Wiacek's sharp, dynamic linework.
