Silver Surfer: The Enslavers

In 1990, Marvel brought Stan Lee back to the Silver Surfer for a single, oversized issue, The Enslavers, with artist and writer Keith Pollard. This prestige-format one-shot finds the cosmic herald confronting a mysterious alien force that has enslaved entire worlds, testing his vow to protect the universe. A standalone glimpse of Lee’s signature operatic storytelling, it’s a notable late-era collaboration between the character’s co-creator and a key 1980s Silver Surfer artist.
