A Bit More About Silver Surfer          I continued to read Silver Surfer well after Infinity Gauntlet. Two issues stand out as my favorite. One occurred during Infinity Gauntlet, Silver Surfer and Thanos fight against each other in a seperate realm where the are outfitted like knights with swords and horses. Not only is it drawn well but the battle between the two is quite epic!             The next Silver Surfer comic that I liked a lot was of Silver Surfer fighting himself! Some where along the line Silver Surfer finds himself in the underworld along with Captain Marvel. There he and Captain Marvel fight dead warriors that claim to be people he killed once leading Galactus to their planets.

It was easy and it was something I could earn a lot of cash doing (by a lot I mean $15 to $20 a day, that's a lot for a 13 year old!).

He had acquired the Infinity Gems through some means and united them into gauntlet that gave him the power of a God. Some of you reading this will know ...

The Comic that got me Hooked!             We would go over to my Grandparents house for most holidays and like kids do they either bring toys, books, drawing stuff or some kind of video game to pass the time. During this time this is a chance for Mothers & Fathers and Aunts & Uncles to catch up and talk, meanwhile this is an opportunity for cousins to see each other and have fun or make some trouble (we did both). One particular gathering my cousin and I took a walk I remember the sun had set early so it may have been Thanksgiving or Christmas. We had walked about a mile and half to a 7-11 convenience store. Typically we would stop into places like this and browse the magazine rack, my cousin being a couple years older would tend to look at the latest issues of Popular Science or Popular Mechanics and I would go to the comics. Truthfully we would go through all the magazines picking up on the latest trends or entert...
