Excellent adaptation of the Silver Surfer comic book, true to the spirit of the original. Thoughtful and entertaining. It's a shame that arguments prevented the story arc from being completed.
The Silver Surfer has always been a serious and thoughtful character, especially in the 60s incarnation, and that is true in this adaptation. This version surely demanded a completed finale and at least one follow-up series.
The background artwork seems true to the style of Jack Kirby, while the characters owe more to the John Buscema versions. Jack Kirby was always best at drawing outlandish technology and architecture, and his work on the 60s Silver Surfer comic book took great advantage of this with stunning alien technology and lifeforms. John Buscema produced great character drawings, and with the Silver Surfer, ones depicting emotions that leaped off the page. The writing of Stan Lee, with all his humanist tendencies (no pun intended), also gave this character great drama - almost Shakespearian at times!
What a great combination!

It is slow-paced, but thought provoking and teaching. Kids nowadays or even adults will not comprehend the messages in this cartoon, because of how far society has degraded.
I write this because people should really give it a chance. I'd also suggest to watch it when stoned because it's very very captivating and INTERESTING, actually interesting. I also want to mention that it's epic how there is so much humanity in this series yet almost no humans (which makes perfect sense hence humanity is almost dead in humans nowadays).
There are lessons in this series and a lot of dynamic but without getting fillers which is amazing. The whole journey of the Silver Surfer and every episode is connected. Scenery always changes and some of the same aspects also helps to glue it all together, but they are always presented from a different angle. I'd say a must watch series except that the last episode has a huge open (hole) end and the plot in it doesn't end at the end.

Too bad Marvel hasn't yet come into their own. Maybe they can try agai. Now that they have the capital.
It's a shame this got cancelled. It was a great series and was a good portrayal of the character who first appeared in Fantastic Four comics. The animation was excellent. The show had some very interesting episodes. Unfortunately, this show was cancelled after one season. The reason was because of Marvel Comics. They were suffering from bankruptcy problems and couldn't afford another season, even though a second season was in the planning stages.

For it's time this was a fabulous show which I really liked, the only downside is that it got cancelled with only 13 episodes been made. It's still a great show even today, well worth watching
Did you know
- TriviaAfter 13 episodes in the 1st season of the show Marvel had planned a 2nd season with 13 more episodes for The Silver Surfer. But the 2nd season didn't air because Marvel was facing bankruptcy problems and couldn't afford to air the 2nd season (even though the show had good ratings). Only eight out of the 13 episode scripts were written before the production on the show was stopped.
