He is the Silver Surfer, a glistening study in grace
and skill who surges across the cosmos in an infinite quest for sanity,
tranquility, justice and romance. (“Silver Surfer, Epic Collection” / me)
The pure and polluted passions of human desires lead
to the gnawing pain of tragedy and the exquisite ecstasy of tangible love and
laughter. He journeys across the universe to the borderland between eternity
and oblivion.
The thunder of ancient universes dying and birthed anew
vibrate through him as he rides the quantum waves over creation. (“Silver Surfer, Epic Collection”)
All the differences between the two genders, races, cultures
and philosophies drift in the doorways of reality and the unseen energies enveloped
in the forces of love and conflict.
When I read Silver Surfer comic books, I enter an
unknown realm of imagination and realism. My hopes and joys gleefully joust with
my sorrows and emptiness. My heart and mind are swallowed in a timeless realm of
creative chaos.
