Serve None, but the Conscience Within

Enduring the cold airless vacuums of space amidst the infinite cosmos and yearning to see beyond the veil of knowledge. thus began the tale of the Silver Surfer. (Stan Lee / Mark Izzy Schurr)    

"Origins," is an easy 208 page read that has embedded itself into my imagination. The Siver Surfer, aka, Chrome Dome rides the waves of infinity on his indestructible board which obeys his mental commands. As we all know from our comic book reading, Glactus granted the Surfman all his powers, and the rest is a mind journey into the chaos of reality and fantasy. 

John Buscema's artwork weaved marvelously into Stan Lee's words in this 2007 release. 

Earth, a world of madness, where reason is shunned, and violence prevails, no longer shall the Silver Surfer be part of man's insanity. Let humanity do what it will. Worlds without limits await my coming. I shall be true to my trust. While infinity beckons, I must leave behind my very heart, Shalla-Bal. Never has there been, never will there be another such as her. 

"I have seen the birth of planets and the death of worlds. Galaxies crumble and new suns aborning, yet in every star and every sun, I see her face," the Silver Surfer said.

The tangible emotions of love and the wanton wonders of youth are cosmically displayed on "Part Two Duel in the Depths" 

Time is long and fate is fickle. My destiny lies before me, and where it beckons, there shall soar the Silver Surfer. (Stan Lee) 

The mystic vapers of imaginations runs rampant in "Ogrins." Infinity and oblivion collide with the savage and sensational emotions of humanity within these pages of the Silver Surfer.
