“Now Strikes the Ghost!”

A city street turned battleground sets the stage for this September 1969 Marvel issue, as the gleaming Silver Surfer swoops low on his board through a canyon of skyscrapers, bearing down on a massive, fiery creature — the Ghost — whose hulking, leonine form sends bystanders scattering in every direction below. John Buscema and Dan Adkins deliver a cover with real sweep and energy, capturing both the Surfer's cosmic grace and the raw, blazing menace of his enormous opponent. "Now Strikes the Ghost!" promises a clash worthy of Stan Lee's ambitious approach to Marvel's most philosophical hero.
