Publication history

Volume 1

The first series, The Silver Surfer, was published beginning in 1968[1] and was written by Stan Lee with art by John Buscema (#1–17)[2][3] and Jack Kirby (#18). Villains introduced in the series include Mephisto in issue #3 (Dec. 1968).[4] Spider-Man guest-starred in issue #14 (March 1970).[5] Encounters with Thor, Loki, and The Human Torch are also some of the notable things that take place within this volume. The series ended after 18 issues, running from August, 1968 to September, 1970.

The Silver Surfer : The Ultimate Cosmic Experience by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Joe Sinnott was published in September 1978 as part of the Marvel Fireside Books series and is considered to be one of the first true "graphic novels."[6]

Volume 2

In 1982 Marvel published a Silver Surfer one-shot by Stan Lee, John Byrne, and Tom Palmer.[7] The one-shot finds the Surfer being temporarily freed from Galactus's punishment, and attempts to rescue his missing love, Shalla Bal. Although it is a one-shot, it serves a second volume within the title.

Volume 3

The third volume series ran from 1987 to 1999 for 146 regular issues, as well as an issue number "−1", and nine annuals, making it the longest-running volume of Silver Surfer. This volume is sometimes referred to as the second Silver Surfer volume, but, according to indicia found inside the comics, the 1982 one-shot was designated "Volume 2" and Marvel therefore designated the second series, beginning in 1987, as "Volume 3."[8]

Volume 4

The fourth series was a 1988 two-issue out-of-continuity mini-series from Stan Lee and Moebius through Marvel's Epic Comics imprint, later collected under the title Silver Surfer: Parable.[9][10]

Volume 5

The fifth series started in 2004 and was written by Dan Chariton and Stacy Weiss, lasting 14 issues.[11] Consisting of the Communion and Revelation story arcs, the fifth volume ran from September, 2003 to December, 2004.

Volume 6

The sixth series was a five-part miniseries published in 2011, written by Greg Pak with art by Stephen Segovia.[12] Given a brief run, the sixth volume started in April, and concluded in August in the year of 2011.

Volume 7

The seventh series, written by Dan Slott and drawn by Mike Allred began in May 2014,[13] lasting 15 issues.[14]

Volume 8

The eighth series, again written by Dan Slott and drawn by Mike Allred, ran from March 2016 to December 2017, lasting 14 issues.
