VintageComics Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Silver Surfer 4 is my favorite cover of all time, so... Me too, but Buscema knocked nearly all of them out of the park in that series. #1, #3, #11, #12, #13 are terrific as well. I'm partial to #11 (Gene!) because I was always torn by his love for Shalla-Bal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Balls Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 O, Bitter Victory! +1 I'm kind of a sucker for those black covers, so a lot of Surfers are my faves. I looked through some Lim covers - not a lot of faves. I love Lim's work on Surfer, and he's got some dynamic, expressive covers - but nothing I'd call 'classics'.

Scturo Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Silver Surfer 4 is my favorite cover of all time, so... One of the greats. You know it's classic when we see homages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcjames Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 My Top Three: 1) SS#4 2) FF#50 3) SS#1 I like the John Byrne one-shot too, the one Joe Satriani ripped a panel off of for his album cover - very cool. [Mental Note: Still gotta get myself a copy of Satriani's album] And also an honorable mention to SSv3#34: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 A really great cover with the Surfer included, if not featured, is Fantastic Four 77. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaylam Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I remember back in 1967 that cover of FF #72 really jumped out at me from the spinner rack. I just had to have it. Still one of my all time favorites. (It's not only just the art and composition that makes these early favorites so good, but the awesome choice of colors!)

Darkowl Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 SS 1 is the most epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaillant Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 My favorite is #72, then I have a soft spot for this one, because it’s unusual to see him in civilian (earth) clothing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gem_Mint Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Joe Jusko got me into comics with 1999 Marvel masterpieces. This picutre is actually my phone BG right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paperheart Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 SS #4 for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 SS4 is the best cover. Ever. The cover is so dynamic and the power that is inferred makes it a magnificent piece of art. Two full figures in such dramatic poses on one comic board - I have had about a dozen recreation/homages done just to see how other artists handle that challenge.

Georgie123 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I vote for TTA #93 maybe tied with ss #4. Gotta go with an underdog on this one silversurfer275 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicmeta Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 So after I complete my Byrne X-Men run, I plan to move onto some more Silver Surfer. While I have most of the Silver Surfer keys…I'm also trying to grab the cool covers he has been in. Here's what I got so far: Fantastic Four #49 - The first one he's on! Fantastic Four #50 - The second one! Fantastic Four #55 - Awesome vs. Thing cover Tales to Astonish #93 - The first cover outside of Fantastic Four Fantastic Four #57 - With Dr. Doom Fantastic Four #72 Fantastic Four #74 Fantastic Four #75 Silver Surfer #1 - First own title! Silver Surfer #4 - Vs. Thor classic! Anyone else have a favorite? That SS#4 is one of my all time favorite covers. Would love to get a 9.4 copy one of these days.

Shadow Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 No where near as good as the Jusko one but the FF 72 inspired me to paint a Silver Surfer a few years ago. I remember buying my first FF 72 back in 1981 because of the cover. I got rid of it during college in 1986. Being nostalgic, I bought a FF 72 a few years ago just so I could own it again. Naturally, it's my pick. The painting is still downstairs in the studio but it might see the light of day someday. thanks for letting me share. silversurfer275 and Toz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 #4, always, forever, the end. The best SS cover ever. But...the only thing that keeps #50 from the top spot is that dumb Johnny Storm box. Otherwise...#50. Ya'know, I think it was in the Liefeld threads that you drove me crazy after a few days and I put you on ignore briefly. I started toggling and seeing nothing driving me crazy so I un-ignored. This post has assured me of the wisdom of the second decision and the haste and misjudgment of the first. My apologies kind sir. I erred. Your taste in comics is impeccable. Toz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
