grapeape Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 My brother owns this page above. I helped him get it about ten years ago for $450. I sold another page privately around the same time for $2500 with the Surfer flying on his board. This one shot artistically with a great story line is one of the best comics to come out in the early 1980's. These are hard to come by because collectors like me read the comic in 1982 and want just one page to keep for nostalgia. In the early 2000's I saw at least 10 pages sell on ebay all in $400-$700 range. Today Byrne FF pages are blistering hot. However this is not Fantastic Four and some people take note of that when considering the SS 1 shot. The good news is this. If you own this page?? It's a great one and you should try to keep it. If you are trying to buy it...I think these pages from SS 1 shot have superior art work by Byrne/Austin and have unlimited investment potential for the future. Fans remember this really is one of the great Surfer Comics. The one you posted did sell on ebay once I'm sure of it but I can't find that auction history. It's a cool page:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twanj Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The above page sold on ebay in Sept 2016 for $2350. It had gone for $2451 earlier with a reserve which was not met. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Byrne, and I love the Silver Surfer, but the inks would have me walking away from pages from this one shot. YMMV.

It just doesn't do it for me. I guess that explains it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
