#comics When you read Silver Surfer volume 1, issue 18, there is a dramatic difference in the "voice" of Silver Surfer. This is the one issue of the original volume that Kirby actually penciled. With the Marvel method, Stan Lee likely had to adapt the story to what the artist put on the page, so in this issue, we probably get a vision closer to what Kirby imagined than what Lee had done in the previous issues of the Silver Surfer #comics.
