Book Review: The Silver Surfer #10


Book: The Silver Surfer #10 by Stan Lee and John Buscema

Rating: 4 stars

Review:

This begins with Shalla Bal on a ship traveling to Earth. She is being taken by Yarro Gort, so he can prove to her that The Silver Surfer is dead or if he's alive he has since found another love. If it turns that it's one of those two options, then Yarro hopes Shalla will finally let go of Norrin and then choose to fall in love with him. While that's taking place, The Surfer after saving a police officer and a potential suicidal jumper decides to go undercover as a human to see what makes people of Earth so hostile to people or being that are different. Because no matter how much The Surfer tries to help, he's still feared and hated.

On his journey, The Surfer goes to a small town in South America where he is stopped by two tyrannical guards. Before he could defend himself, The Surfer gets some from a young lady, Donna Maria Perez who is tired of her people being treated unfairly by those guards.

After The Surfer knocks out those guys, Donna and her mother aid The Surfer by letting him hide out in their attic. Looking for revenge, the guards capture Donna after she wouldn't tell them where the stranger (The Surfer) was. Not willing to let Donna suffer for helping him, The Surfer goes to rescue her. They get away and to thank him Donna gives him a kiss but that is exactly when Shalla Bal and Yarro Gort show up in the vicinity to view the kiss.

You have to find out in the next issue to see if Shalla will trust in her heart or believe in what she's seeing. I love reading these old Silver Surfer comics because it's such a philosophical book. This was a very good story. I can't wait to read the next issue.
