The Silver Surfer #4

Feb 1969 · Marvel · 0.25 USD
“The Good, the Bad, and the Uncanny!”

In "The Good, the Bad, and the Uncanny!", the Silver Surfer finds himself caught in a cunning scheme when Loki manipulates him into aiding a plot against Thor. With the god of thunder's power looming and the trickster's motives unclear, the Surfer's instincts tell him something’s off—just as Loki vanishes, leaving him stranded on Earth. Written by Stan Lee and brought to life with dynamic art by John Buscema, inks by Sal Buscema, and colors by Bill Everett, this 1969 Marvel classic captures the cosmic tension and mystery that define the Silver Surfer’s early adventures. The cover, penciled by John Buscema and inked by Sal Buscema, perfectly captures the issue’s dramatic clash of gods and deception.
