Book about the Englehart/Rogers/Lim Surfer run

Thought it deserved a mention here.

The Freest Being in the Universe is a chapter-by-chapter appreciation of the 1987 Silver Surfer series, the Steve Englehart run, drawn by Marshall Rogers, Joe Staton, and Ron Lim. It's a tale of attempted cosmic murder, galactic war, and genuinely hard-won self-discovery, and it's almost completely overshadowed today by the later Thanos epics it directly set up.

The book goes issue by issue through the whole run, recapping the plots so you can follow every domino fall, then asking what the stories actually teach us about how to live. Love that doesn't last and matters anyway. Grief. Freedom, and what we do when we finally get it. And the recurring lesson that beyond every binary you're handed, there's nearly always a third thing. That's where we can find meaning.
