Description

The Silver Surfer #1 (Marvel, 1968) CGC NM+ 9.6 Off-white to white pages. Demand for this issue has never been higher, and finding a copy in such stellar condition is more difficult than one might expect: of the more than 8,000 copies currently certified by CGC, only 275 have a Universal grade of NM- 9.2 or better. The Silver Surfer's origin is expanded upon, revealing him to be Norrin Radd, an astronomer who became the herald of world-devourer Galactus in order to save his world and loved ones from destruction. We also get the first appearance of Radd's lover, Shalla-Bal, who recently appeared as the Marvel Cinematic Universe's version of the Surfer in The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Backup stories featuring Uatu the Watcher begin, and the origin of his kind is told as well. The cover is by John Buscema, and story art is by him, Gene Colan, Joe Sinnott, and Syd Shores. Overstreet 2024 NM- 9.2 value = $6,400. CGC census 8/25: 47 in 9.6, 10 higher.
