In the absence of anything interesting to write about at the moment, here's a few more SILVER SURFER covers for you to feast your hungry eyes on. These are the last of the 68 page (including covers) King-Size Surfers - next time up, I'll feature the 36 page issues.
Just look at that fluid JOHN BUSCEMA Surfer figure below. When JACK KIRBY first introduced the HERALD OF GALACTUS a few years before, his Surfer was graceful and fluid, and really looked as if he was riding his board. By the time this issue came out, Kirby's rendition of Norrin (whenever he drew him in the FF) was stiff and stilted and just didn't look right. Buscema was one of the few artists ever to "out-Kirby" Kirby, and STAN LEE was right in choosing Big John for the job of illustrating ol' Norrin's own magazine - in my humble opinion.
