Published Mon, 14 Feb 2022 11:47:10 -0600

Silver Surfer #4 is one of those books that if you do not have it, you are jealous of those that do. Maybe one of the five most iconic covers from Marvel Comics, Thor swinging at a charging Surfer, is just such a mesmerizing piece of art. John and Sal Buscema crushed this one; I imagine when this one was done, they took the rest of the day off and high-fived each other. On auction at Heritage Auctions right now is a CGC graded copy of this book, a 5.5 to be exact. It is a really gorgeous copy, and more importantly, it's not unobtainable, at $745 right now. Check it out below.

Silver Surfer Is Cool. Throw In Thor? Instant Classic

"Loki is determined to defeat his brother Thor. He looks for someone that he can use to accomplish this. He comes across the Silver Surfer and tests his abilities. Loki tricks the Surfer into thinking that Thor is Asgard's enemy. He agrees to help the Surfer escape Galactus' barrier if he helps defeat Thor. Surfer attacks Thor but soon realizes that Loki may not have been telling him the truth. When Loki realizes that the Surfer was becoming wise, he sends him back to Earth before his scheme could be revealed. Just picture this – the sensational sky-rider of the spaceways battling the mighty Thor! You'd expect it to be great, but – it's even greater!"
