Silver Surfer #28

Silver Surfer #28 promises a clash of cosmic proportions, as the cover — penciled by Ron Lim and inked by Joe Rubinstein — puts the gleaming Surfer front and center, locked in a fierce struggle with a pink-clad, yellow-helmeted adversary while an enormous, shadowy alien visage looms ominously in the background. The banner teases "At Last — The Warlord of the Skrulls!", hinting that this 1989 issue brings a long-anticipated confrontation with one of Marvel's most formidable alien empires. Steve Englehart and Ron Lim were deep in their celebrated run here, and this cover alone radiates the epic, galaxy-spanning energy that made this series so compelling.
