The Colosal and Chaotic Allure of Cosmic Mind Adventures


Two empires, each with different obsessions, but their obsessions were all consuming and they attempted once again to achieve total dominance.

From out of the magellanic cloud came the death ships of dread, the Skrull Empire. 

Now obliterator, you will tell us the secrets of the elders, the most important secrets in all the universe. The elder who lives only to destroy was stripped of his weapons by the Sliver Surfer.

“Everything here (Earth) consists of two opposing forces, death and eternity,” the Silver Said

Englehart’s writing style stimulated intrigue into the subconscious thoughts of knowledge and wonder. Before this universe was born, another one vanished into sub-atomic probability, then bursts fourth again, and its energy spiraled its forces into the cooling darkness of a new beginning. (Englehart / Izzy Schurr)  

In “Seeds of War,” the Silver Surfer has a chance to love and his love is reciprocated by an alluring woman. Is it no surprise that a long and serious romance is suddenly halted by the threat of an intergalactic war?


“Seeds of War” triggered mind journeys into the emotions of harmony and bloodshed.      

The next two issues have nothing to do with the continuing saga of “Seeds of War,” for reasons unknown, even to myself, yet the three issue’s gel well together when read in unison.

My future seems uncharted, there are no foes to fight, no quests to complete. I should be glad for the respite, but I feel strangely useless. Where goes the warrior when there are no more battles to be fought? Where goes one who has no home? (“Conflicting Emotions,” 1992)

The passions of love and hate thrust themselves into the atoms of eternity. The cosmic creature of chaos has once again released his powers into the dusts of desire, zeal and truth in 1992s saga of love and hate. 

Princess Alaisa from the Kharta’een empire sets her sites on Chrome Dome. The Mistress of Love is summoned from the magical mayhem, existing in the realms of fantasy, bestowed upon readers of the Silver Surfer comic books.




Where love goes, hate follows. Master Hate attempts to acquire the formidable powers of love and use this ultimate power to full fill his demented passions.

Steve Carr, Deryl Skelton, Tom Christopher and Tom Vincent’s artwork is crafted brilliantly with the writing of Ron Marz in "Conflicting Emotions."

Perhaps our entire subterranean journey was an elaborate exercise pointing us in her direction. (Ron Marz, October, 1994)



“Temptation: Greed,” showcases the love between Nova and the Silver Surfer. Does the planet Tultac harbor the vast streams of gold which too often poisons the hearts of lovers?



Terrax, unlike the Silver Surfer is not cursed with mortality, or so he says, and thus, the seeds of violent conflict begin to grow in the immortal wind’s of creation and destruction.
