Surf's up in next month's MWOM

On sale July 2nd.

The Silver Surfer made his US comic debut in Fantastic Four No.48, 'way back in 1966 but it wasn't until 1970 in TV21 No.62 (second series) that he appeared in a British comic. Even then, the strips (reprinting his 1968 solo series) were resized, relettered and often clumsily edited into a more traditional UK comic format.

The Surfer later became the lead strip in Marvel UK's The Superheroes weekly in 1975 although that was relatively short lived. Next month, on July 2nd, the Silver Surfer's more recent adventures will start appearing in Panini UK's The Mighty World of Marvel. These strips by Dan Slott and Michael Allred have been highly acclaimed by fans for taking a quirky new spin on the character. The 76 page issue will also feature Daredevil and part four of Original Sin.

However, if you want to follow the stories I'd advise you to pick up The Mighty World of Marvel No.13, which is in the shops now. It's a perfect 'jumping on point'. With 100 pages at no extra price, it contains the first three parts of Original Sin (Who killed The Watcher?) and the start of a new direction for Daredevil now that he's revealed his true identity to the world.

You'll find the comic racked alongside SFX, Doctor Who Magazine and other genre mags in WH Smith and selected newsagents.
