Silver Surfer: Parable by Stan Lee
5.0
GALACTUS HAS COME TO EARTH AND NOT TO DEVOUR AND FEAST, BUT TO LET THE PEOPLE DEVOUR THEMSELVES?? SO, WHAT DO THEY DO? RUN AND FEAR HIM OR WORSHIP HIM?
In 1988 Stan Lee decided to come back and write a mini-series about one of his favorite creations, 'Silver Surfer.' In this self-contained else world story Stan, the Man is partnered with world renowned artist, Moebius. It was super interesting to see how Stan's writing was in the very late 80's. I've only ever read his 60's-70's stuff, so this was really interesting to me. It for sure is his most prolific work as his writing is evolved to fit the time. In some cases, it even feels ahead of the time. It still has the usual Stan Lee tropes however it's a lot more digestible than his older stuff and has a very interesting plot with message. The story telling goes beyond the writing though. As we get fantastic artwork by Moebius. It's not first time seeing his artwork, but it is my first time reading with it and man does it add so much. It's really stunning work that just on its own paces the story perfect also making it great story telling. Moebius also does the colors and lettering, and it all feels fit to what he was setting in this world him, and Stan made. It makes having this story in anything that isn't oversized, unacceptable. You truly have to experience it in this beautiful format.
