Silver Surfer #9
In "Doomsday," the Silver Surfer makes a desperate choice, surrendering the last soul gem to the Elders in exchange for the freedom of Mantis and Shalla-Bal—only to find himself caught between two titans when the Elders turn their power against Galactus. Written by Steve Englehart and brought to life with moody, cinematic art by Marshall Rogers, this pivotal 1988 issue deepens the cosmic stakes with a haunting blend of sacrifice and loyalty. The cover, a striking collaboration by Rogers and Joe Rubinstein, captures the Surfer’s solemn resolve in the shadow of galactic consequence.
