Marvel's Silver Surfer Pays Homage to Its Legendary Artists
Warning: Contains a preview for Silver Surfer: Rebirth #4
The latest issue of Silver Surfer: Rebirth pays homage to the long history of the character by showing five alternate versions of Silver Surfer, each inspired by one of the legendary artists who contributed to the iconic look of the Cosmic Wanderer throughout the years.
Silver Surfer: Rebirth is a limited series set in the Surfer's past when he was dealing with the dangerous artifact known as the Reality Gem, the most powerful of the Infinity Gems (which would be later renamed Infinity Stones). After the first assembly of the Gems into the Infinity Gauntlet, Adam Warlock decided to leave each of the artifacts in the custody of a member of his Infinity Watch, but he gave the Reality Gem in secret to his former enemy Thanos, believing that the powerful Mad Titan was the safest warden. However, someone was able to outsmart Thanos and steal the Gem, causing havoc in the universe. Reality is shattering, alternative timelines and dimensions are converging, leading to Silver Surfer, whose help Thanos enlisted to recover the Gem, meeting four different versions of himself. Marvel took this chance to give readers a glimpse into the character's past, as each version is drawn in the peculiar style of one famous artist.
