Silver Surfer #70
Marvel Comics · 1992 · Very Fine (VF) · Ron Marz · Ron Lim
🔑 KEY ISSUE: First appearance of Morg, who goes on to become a herald of Galactus
Silver Surfer #70 kicks off the six-part Herald Ordeal story arc, and it delivers one of the most significant moments in the entire volume with the first appearance of Morg, the brutal court executioner who catches the eye of Galactus himself. Nova, the current herald, makes a desperate bid to defy the world-devourer, setting the stage for a savage power struggle that will reshape the herald mythology for years to come. This is the issue collectors have been hunting since Morg became a recurring cosmic threat throughout the 1990s.
Ron Marz was at the height of his cosmic Marvel work here, crafting the kind of universe-shaking stakes that defined the early 1990s Silver Surfer run, and Ron Lim's dynamic pencils give Galactus and the new villain an imposing, genuinely intimidating presence on every page. Lim's run on Silver Surfer is fondly remembered by collectors for its clean cosmic grandeur, and this issue is one of the standout covers of his tenure. With a Silver Surfer MCU appearance long anticipated by fans, interest in key issues from this era continues to grow.
