5.0 out of 5 stars Comics via Shakespeare, August 19, 2006
This review is from: Silver Surfer (Marvel Masterworks (Unnumbered)) (Hardcover)
While this volume of the Surfer's exploits has been variously reviewed as (a) some of Jack Kirby's greatest work and (b) a great Golden Age read, it is neither. What it is is unparalleled characterization.

This Silver Age run of the Surfer, by Stan Lee and John Buscema, sees Lee channeling Shakespeare for the plots and dialogue. To call this book tragedy would not be wrong. Lee so loved what he wrote here that he refused to change directions to save the book from cancellation and also refused to let any other writer work with the character for many years. And he was right. This is SF Hamlet and one of 2 volumes of the Surfer that are must-haves for the true fan of Norrin Rad, Stan Lee or John Buscema.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ride on Silver Warrior!, May 16, 2000
This review is from: Silver Surfer (Marvel Masterworks (Unnumbered)) (Hardcover)
I have been a fan of the Silver Surfer ever since I was a kid, and this collection of stories did not dissapoint. Collected in this edition are ten "golden-age" stories which truly capture the surfer at his freshest and best. Buy this if you appreciate the true art of comics
