| Silver Surfer graphic novel |
The Silver Surfer GN (graphic novel), 1978 - This ambitious project by Stan Lee and
Jack Kirby is arguably Marvel's first graphic novel, preceding the
Death of Captain Marvel by several years (their paperbacks up to this point were reprints). At one hundred pages, this story is the longest of Kirby's career. Interspersed within are eight full page splashes and two double page spreads. The drawings are expectedly bold and dynamic, allowing for several experimental compositions. Certain pages (21, 57, 58 in particular) all break from the typical layout, expanding variety and visual interest. Kirby's crisp artwork makes this bronze age graphic novel is one of his best bronze age works. Cover painting by Earl Norem.
