The spheres of time and space are vast, and those who are helpless to the destruction of nature and the invidious powers of Galactus need the aide of the Silver Surfer.
The spherical sensation of the cosmos and its stars spewing their light five hundred million miles away from Earth lure him back to her. (Mark Schurr / Steve Englehart) Norrin Radd, aka, the Silver Surfer returns to his home planet Zenn-La where his former lover dwells.
The August, 1987 issue of "The Silver Surfer The Return To Zenn-La...And Shalla-Bal" explores the realms of love and responsibility ala Radd style.
Upon his return to Zenn-La, the Silver Surfer is considered a traitor to his home planet because he broke his vow to Galactus. To the best of my knowledge, Galactus devours entire planets to keep his powers. The powers that be want between $600.00-$1,000 for the 1968 debut "Silver Surfer" comic book, so my knowledge of Galactus is limited. I do know that Galactus sparred Zenn-La and its people from complete destruction. In return, the Silver Surfer was supposed to find other planets for Galactus to destroy and devour, but the Surfer betrayed his promise to Galactus and is now his enemy.
Galactus still tries to obliterate Earth and Zenn-La from time time, but the Silver Surfer with his cosmic powers always thwarts his attempts. Shalla-Bal welcomes the return of the Chrome Dome, but fears his return may awaken ancient enemies, and spark new wars. Shalla-Bal is now the empress of Zenn-La. She still loves the sentinel of the spaceways, but her responsibilities to Zenn-La, and his duties to the worlds amidst the cosmic reaches of the universe are much too great for the two of them to have a personal life.
"To simply be home, to be with woman I love. We will work together for Zenn-La and for ourselves." the Silver Surfer said to her.
"Man was meant to strive, to yearn...though they have inherited a universe, they possess only empty sand!" she said to him.
I am forever the soul of honor, the beckoning call of space has returned again to me. The visible twin in the spherical void burns across the millions of miles in space. Where soars the Silver Surfer, there, he must soar alone, I am home. ( Englehart, Schurr, ?)
