The Silver Surfer #7

From Marvel's 1969 solo series comes this memorable chapter in the Sky-Rider of the Spaceways' ongoing saga — "The Heir of Frankenstein!" The cover by John Buscema and Sal Buscema is a striking composition: the gleaming Silver Surfer hurls cosmic energy against unseen machinery in a stone-walled setting, while in the lower corner a green-caped figure with a weapon bears down on a fallen red-haired woman amid a shower of sparks and debris. Stan Lee and John Buscema bring their considerable talents to bear on a story that pairs Marvel's most philosophical hero with one of literature's most enduring mad-science legacies — a combination that makes this issue genuinely hard to put down.
