Stan the Man returns to write a fairly simple Silver Surfer story with cameos by dozens of characters. Surfer is having nightmares that Shalla Bal is in trouble, and Reed tells him to go rescue her.
Meanwhile, Johnny Carson learns that aliens have contacted Earth.
Turns out, they are the titular enslavers. They capture a bunch of heroes. Surfer gets to Zenn-La and sees that the same alien race has taken his home planet prisoner. He frees them, and then frees Earth’s heroes as well.
Pollard’s art is good, but there’s not much else to recommend this. Surfer is written in a fairly generic way—there’s no depth to his hand-wringing and none of the cosmic contemplation that made old Stan Lee Surfer stories so great.
