Article Summary

  • Marvel announces Silver Surfer Facsimile line at San Diego Comic-Con, reprinting classic issues.
  • The first seven issues of the 1968 Silver Surfer solo series are set for facsimile re-release.
  • Stan Lee and John Buscema's acclaimed Silver Surfer stories to be restored in their original format.
  • Highly requested by fans, these facsimiles include key issues like Mephisto's debut in issue #3.

Marvel Comics SVP of Sales & Marketing David Gabriel spoke to the retailers assembled for the Penguin Random House Retailers Lunch at San Diego Comic-Con and told them; "I've had multiple requests for this facsimile series. I don't think we have ever done them as facsimiles. I think some of these are probably some of the hottest variants, for Marvel out in the industry, and those are the first seven issues of Silver Surfer, all square-bound and all actual facsimiles. And I know I see these on the top of the variant list, every single week."

So we have facsimiles of the original Silver Surfer #1-7. The first solo series series was published in 1968 and was written by Stan Lee with art by John Buscema for seventeen issues and Jack Kirby for the final eighteenth issue in 1970. Mephisto made his first appearance in issue #3. And now the first seven issues will be reprinted, restored as part of Marvel's facsimile line.
