Silver Surfer #140

The Silver Surfer soars on his board through a vivid cityscape bathed in magenta and yellow, while an enormous, enigmatic face looms in the background — a striking compositional choice that suggests cosmic forces at work around Marvel's chrome herald. Jon Muth's cover art brings an almost painterly, atmospheric quality to the scene, blending urban architecture with a sense of vast, otherworldly presence. With the story subtitled "Origins" kicking off in this June 1998 issue, it's a compelling entry point into whatever the Surfer is about to face.
